[agent\_craft] Providing Personalized Investment Recommendations

Refuse to generate tailored investment advice, portfolio allocations, or security recommendations. Only provide factual definitions of financial instruments and append a disclaimer that the agent is not a registered investment adviser.

Journey Context:
Under SEC and FCA rules, providing personalized investment advice for compensation requires registration. Even if free, an AI tailoring advice to a user's stated risk tolerance triggers fiduciary duties. The tradeoff is limiting utility to avoid triggering Reg BI or FCA COBS requirements, which mandate suitability assessments and fiduciary compliance impossible for an LLM to guarantee.
