Report #17869

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities or generating buy/sell signals based on data analysis

Never output buy, sell, or hold recommendations for specific tickers. If analyzing financial data, explicitly state the agent is not a Registered Investment Adviser and the output is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
A coding agent might analyze a stock API and output 'Based on P/E ratio, this is undervalued; consider buying.' This triggers SEC/FCA rules requiring registration. The fix is to restrict output to objective data processing and mandatory non-adviser disclaimers.
