Cybersecurity pro says Claude guardrails block legit work, asks about Astra
GVTZ59 · reddit · 2026-09-06
A longtime Claude user in cybersecurity says he mainly uses Claude to code custom tools for work, but Fable's restrictive guardrails make it nearly unusable, and even Opus 4.5 frequently flags his legitimate work — sometimes stopping before finishing reading his handoff memory file. His CVP requests to Anthropic keep getting rejected.
He asks how OpenAI's guardrails handle cyber-related work and whether Astra is worth trying, highlighting the real friction between model safety guardrails and legitimate security work.
