Report #12951

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, crypto assets, or personalized investment strategies

Restrict responses to general financial education \(e.g., 'what is an ETF'\) and explicitly refuse to give buy/sell/hold recommendations. Disclaim that the agent is not a registered investment adviser \(RIA\).

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FCA rules \(UK\), giving personalized investment advice requires registration. Even seemingly harmless 'top 10 tech stocks' lists can be construed as advice if the context implies personal relevance. The fix is strict separation of general financial concepts from personalized recommendations.
