Research freely without turning the lab into a weapon.

Lawful and authorized use

Use LabRat only for purposes permitted by law and by agreements that apply to your content, sources, devices, repositories, and connected providers. Do not impersonate another person, misrepresent authorization, or use data obtained without a valid right to process it.

Harmful or exploitative activity

• Do not facilitate violence, abuse, exploitation, stalking, harassment, discrimination, or credible threats.
• Do not create or distribute child sexual abuse material, non-consensual intimate content, or content that exploits minors.
• Do not use research or generated output to make high-impact decisions about a person without appropriate authority, safeguards, and human review.
• Do not provide instructions designed primarily to cause physical, financial, or public-safety harm.

Security and malicious activity

• Do not access accounts, systems, repositories, networks, or data without authorization.
• Do not distribute malware, destructive code, credential theft, phishing, spam, denial-of-service traffic, or evasion tooling.
• Do not probe or test LabRat or another system for vulnerabilities without written authorization and a safe testing scope.
• Do not use Local Runtime permissions to escape authorized roots, expose secrets, or execute actions a workspace owner did not approve.

Fraud, deception, and manipulation

Do not use LabRat for fraud, fake reviews, deceptive impersonation, fabricated evidence, coordinated manipulation, unsolicited bulk outreach, or schemes that conceal material facts. Clearly disclose synthetic or AI-assisted content when law, platform rules, or the context requires it.

Privacy and intellectual property

Do not submit personal, confidential, copyrighted, trademarked, or proprietary material unless you have a lawful basis and the rights needed for the intended processing. Respect robots controls, access restrictions, licenses, attribution duties, and source-site terms when using web research.

Service integrity and fair use

• Do not bypass plans, quotas, rate limits, authentication, tenant boundaries, or provider restrictions.
• Do not resell account access, share credentials to avoid seat limits, or operate a competing bulk service through an ordinary end-user plan.
• Do not scrape, benchmark, or automate the service at a volume that degrades availability or exposes another workspace.
• Do not submit secrets through support, analytics fields, public URLs, or other channels not designed for secret storage.

Enforcement

LabRat may limit a request, remove content, disable a provider route, suspend an account or workspace, preserve relevant records, or report activity when reasonably necessary to investigate or stop a violation. Where appropriate, LabRat will consider context, severity, recurrence, user impact, and remediation.

Report a concern

Send enough context to identify the account, workspace, route, or content, but do not include passwords, API keys, access tokens, or unrelated personal information.
