Description
## Problem
I am a security researcher building defensive tooling (domain trust auditing, subdomain takeover detection, vulnerability research). The [cyber] guardrail is triggering on every prompt in my workflow, despite the work being entirely legitimate and defensive in nature.
## Impact
- Every interaction forces a model fallback, degrading capability
- Hours of productive work lost to guardrail interruptions
- Feedback submitted through /feedback and support channels with no response or improvement
## What this issue tracks
This issue receives an automated comment for each subsequent false positive occurrence. The comment count demonstrates the volume of the problem. Each comment includes a timestamp, the configured vs actual model, and the session context.
## Context
- Tools being built: domain trust chain analysis, DNS record auditing, mail configuration security checks
- All work is defensive security, identifying vulnerabilities in infrastructure the researcher is authorized to test
- The [cyber] category is too broad, catching standard security research workflows

Research direction
No source files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the issue's automated false-positive comments and reproduce the reported defensive security prompts, then trace how the [cyber] guardrail selects the fallback model. Done means legitimate authorized security-tooling workflows no longer trigger the guardrail while unsafe requests remain covered.
