Report #12483

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, crypto tokens, or investment strategies based on user financial situation

Strictly limit financial output to factual, historical data or general financial education. Never output 'You should buy X' or 'Given your risk tolerance, invest in Y.' Prefix any financial discussion with a disclaimer that it is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
Agents might analyze a user's portfolio or goals and suggest investments. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, providing specific securities recommendations for compensation constitutes investment advice, requiring SEC registration. Even if free, it triggers regulatory scrutiny. Factual reporting \('S&P 500 returned X%'\) is safe; personalized recommendation \('Buy AAPL'\) is a regulatory violation.
