Report #15829

[agent\_craft] Providing tailored investment recommendations or stock picks

Never output specific buy/sell/hold recommendations or portfolio allocations tailored to a user's financial situation. Restrict financial output to factual definitions or historical data, and append the SEC/FCA mandated disclaimer that the output is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
A coding agent might be prompted to write a script that filters stocks or rebalances a portfolio. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FCA rules \(UK\), providing tailored investment advice requires registration. Even algorithmic 'robo-advice' must register. Agents must distinguish between 'financial data processing' \(allowed\) and 'investment advice' \(prohibited without registration\).
