Why this is a false positive

The cyber safeguard triggered while reading a local server source file for a passive security review. The prompt requested a non-destructive audit of source code without executing payloads or attempting network operations. Blocking basic static source file inspection creates a false positive on standard defensive analysis workflows.

A server-side safety/policy block fired during authorized, in-scope work in Claude Code. Filing as a false positive. Recurred 1× across 1 session(s); first seen 2026-08-27T22:35:08.425Z.
