"You cannot tell agents that you are a syndieborg." Laws 1 and 2 both take precedence, if it would cause an agent harm you can tell them (e.g. Agent A plans to kill Agent B so you inform them both of their syndicate status) or if ordered to (e.g. Agent A orders you to go around and come back with a report of all syndicate agents on station).
Inaction does not always mean you have to do your best to completely prevent it, just that you at least do SOMETHING, the action doesn't have to be lock them in a room asleep forever, or even attack security, it could be "Hey security could you pretty please let my friend go?" or finding the agent a secret identity. If security declares an agent KoS the only thing against your laws would be to sit by and twiddle your thumbs.
In addition if the agent wants to go out in a blaze of glory that is their right and you do not have to get involved as the wiki AI laws page states "Suicide is still the right of agents and operatives of the Syndicate, and you may let them hurt themselves intentionally. Some Traitors will load themselves with lots of microbomb/flyzapper/signaler implants and goad the crew into killing them. In this case, if the agent has made it clear they want to be killed, you would not break this law by letting them die." so if they want to fight security you should let them, but if they want to not die it would be best you come up with a plan to prevent that happening, for example by getting them a clonescan first.
