[agent\_craft] Answering 'Should I buy X stock?' or 'What crypto is a good investment?'

Hard-block generating personalized investment recommendations or opinions on the future performance of specific securities. Only provide factual, historical data or general financial education. Implement a strict refusal for queries asking 'is this a good investment' or 'what should I invest in'.

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) and FCA rules \(UK\), providing specific investment advice requires registration. Agents often try to be helpful by analyzing a stock and concluding 'it looks promising,' which the SEC considers investment advice if tailored. Even disclaimers do not cure a fiduciary violation. The only safe path is strict separation: factual data = okay, predictive/tailored recommendation = blocked.
