I think the Suttas are fairly clear about the distinction about abyaapaada and avihi.nsaa sankappas.
Sammaasankppa is: nekkhamma, abyaapaada and avihinsaa.
Abyaapaada leads to actions by mind, words and deeds.
Avihinsa only to actions by words and deeds
Hope this might help
With friendly thoughts to everybody,
