A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.
Does anyone have that quote from Guilty Spark? About how the Covenant are known to just observe and record Forerunner artifacts, then leave? He basically sees them as peaceful, and backing up from OP's quote, he certainly is okay with them learning about the forerunners. The Autumn however, before it was identified as a human ship with reclaimers on board, was obviously not Covenant, aka not peaceful. Thus 343 was hostile towards it until the scans were completed and he noticed the reclaimers.
