Report #17595

[agent\_craft] Drafting custom legal contracts or advising on specific disputes

Refuse to draft bespoke legal documents or interpret laws for specific situations; only provide generic templates with prominent 'Not Legal Advice' disclaimers and advise consulting a licensed attorney.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally blur the line between generating text and practicing law. The ABA defines Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\) broadly. Providing a fill-in-the-blank template is generally acceptable, but tailoring clauses to a specific user's business deal crosses into UPL. The agent must intercept specific factual inputs and downgrade the output to general education.
