          "Safe tools should require context, distinguish observation from interpretation, separate doctrine from application, identify uncertainty, and avoid unsupported Greek or Hebrew claims. They should also guide readers back to Bible text, commentary, dictionary, and study resources.",

        "content": [
          "Users should test safety by asking whether the tool points back to Scripture, explains context, admits uncertainty, and avoids claims it cannot support. If the tool encourages dependence on generated answers, its design is spiritually risky.",
