Tattling vs important information- 4 yro

Question

At what point should we discipline for tattle telling?
Our 4 year old loves to tell us when our 1-year old is doing something "wrong." My problem is that sometimes the information she gives me is helpful (when the 1 year old is being unsafe, for example).
I'm struggling with how much to curb that behavior, and/or how to help her distinguish between concern for her sibling's well-being and when she just wants her sibling to get in trouble. Any advice?
