 ### Out-of-Scope Use
 
@@ -41,16 +40,18 @@ This model should not be used for:
 - Generating or assisting in the creation of malicious code
 - Providing legal or professional security advice without expert oversight
 - Making critical security decisions without human verification
+- Replacing professional malware analysis or threat intelligence processes
 
 ## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
 
 - The model may reflect biases present in its training data and the original LLaMA 3.1 model.
-- It may occasionally generate incorrect or inconsistent information, especially for very specific or novel cybersecurity topics.
+- It may occasionally generate incorrect or inconsistent YARA rules, especially for very specific or novel malware families.
 - The model's knowledge is limited to its training data cutoff and does not include real-time threat intelligence.
+- Generated YARA rules should always be reviewed and tested by security professionals before deployment.
 
 ### Recommendations
 
-Users should verify critical information and consult with cybersecurity professionals for important decisions. The model should be used as an assistant tool, not as a replacement for expert knowledge or up-to-date threat intelligence.
