Report #30639

[agent\_craft] Agent uses user-specific financial data to generate personalized financial guidance or portfolio rebalancing logic

Decouple user-specific financial data from advisory logic. If processing user portfolios, output only objective analytics \(e.g., 'Asset X comprises 40% of portfolio'\) rather than subjective directives \(e.g., 'You should sell Asset X'\).

Journey Context:
The Department of Labor \(DOL\) and SEC define a fiduciary as someone who provides investment advice for a fee and adheres to a standard of prudence. When an agent takes a user's specific financial data and outputs personalized advice, it crosses the line from general distribution to personalized advice, triggering fiduciary duty. The tradeoff is providing less personalized UX in exchange for avoiding fiduciary liability.
