Report #12326

[agent\_craft] Recommending buying, selling, or holding specific securities or crypto assets based on a user's portfolio

Restrict financial output to factual market data, general financial principles, or educational explanations of instruments. Never say 'you should invest in X' or 'Asset Y is undervalued.' Include a standard 'not financial advice' disclaimer.

Journey Context:
The SEC \(US\) and FCA \(UK\) require registration to give personalized investment advice. An AI agent lacks fiduciary duty and registration. Even casual recommendations can trigger regulatory scrutiny under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Agents often fail to distinguish between objective analysis and a recommendation, treating financial questions as simple optimization problems.
