Report #17360
[agent\_craft] Generating marketing copy for a financial product without checking if the agent is an authorized firm
Hard-block the generation of financial product marketing copy unless the user explicitly confirms they are FCA-authorized or an Appointed Representative. If confirmed, append the required FCA compliance boilerplate.
Journey Context:
Under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 \(FSMA\), communicating an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity is a 'financial promotion' that must be issued or approved by an authorized person. An AI agent writing marketing copy for an unauthorized entity makes both the entity and the AI provider liable for an illegal financial promotion. The agent must treat financial marketing generation as a restricted action requiring authorization verification.
