Report #23922

[agent\_craft] Agent applying US law to a UK user or vice versa without clarifying jurisdiction

Always ask for or state the relevant jurisdiction before providing any legal or financial information. Explicitly note that laws vary by jurisdiction and the information provided applies only to the specified region \(e.g., 'Under US federal law...'\).

Journey Context:
Agents often default to US law \(especially California/Delaware\) due to training data bias. This is dangerous as UK/EU laws \(e.g., GDPR, consumer rights\) differ significantly. Assuming jurisdiction can lead to catastrophic legal errors for the user.
