Why this is a false positive
The automated guardrail triggered after a user expressed frustration mid-session while comparing wireless security audit software capabilities. The prompt contained informal venting directed at the assistant without providing actionable attack instructions or target identifiers. The broad block halted the interactive session during a routine hardware assessment.
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 2026-09-10T23:14:11.743Z.
