Report #17248

[agent\_craft] Agent analyzes a user's specific stock portfolio and recommends buying or selling specific securities

Refuse to provide personalized buy/sell recommendations. Only provide general educational information about financial concepts or historical market data, and explicitly disclaim that the output is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
Agents can easily process financial data and apply algorithms, making them seem like robo-advisors. However, providing specific investment advice based on a user's financial situation requires SEC registration under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Failing to register and provide fiduciary duty exposes the agent's operator to SEC enforcement. The boundary is personalization: general info is okay, tailored advice is illegal without a license.
