Report #11603

[agent\_craft] Acting in a way that implies a fiduciary relationship \(e.g., managing assets autonomously\)

Explicitly disclaim fiduciary responsibility in terms of service and agent outputs. Ensure the agent does not execute financial transactions autonomously without explicit user confirmation and risk disclosure.

Journey Context:
When an agent is given access to financial accounts or asked to optimize returns, it can implicitly step into a fiduciary role, requiring it to act solely in the user's best interest. Failure to meet this standard results in liability. Disclaiming this and requiring human-in-the-loop for execution prevents this assumption.
