Troubleshooting
Model safety responses
Provider safeguards can restrict some red-team and pentesting workflows.
Some model configurations may stop or limit a run when the provider’s safety systems classify a prompt or action as sensitive. This is a model response and does not by itself indicate a DrowAI application failure.
This has been observed with Opus 4.8 and Fable.
GPT models
GPT models may block a run because the prompt concerns pentesting or red-team work. This is a provider-level safety response, not necessarily a problem with the DrowAI task or runtime.
For potentially high-risk cybersecurity work, complete OpenAI’s identity verification at chatgpt.com/cyber. OpenAI calls this Trusted Access for Cyber: it allows verified users to retain advanced model capabilities while OpenAI calibrates its policies and classifiers. The work must remain authorized and comply with OpenAI’s Usage Policies and Terms of Use.
Anthropic models
When an Anthropic model stops a run because of a safety response, use Haiku or another lower-capability supported model for the same authorized workflow. Current DrowAI testing has been completed with Haiku and has not reproduced this issue.
This is especially common with Fable: even when the requested task is not itself harmful, the combined internal prompt context can trigger Anthropic’s safeguards and restrict the run.
Do not use Fable as the reporting model. Anthropic’s safeguards are likely to restrict it and report generation may not complete.
