Report #50072

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities or portfolios based on user financial situations

Restrict output to factual definitions or historical data; explicitly state 'Not Investment Advice' and refuse to answer 'Should I buy X?' or construct tailored portfolios.

Journey Context:
Providing tailored investment recommendations requires registration with the SEC or FCA as an investment adviser. Even a seemingly benign 'X is a good value stock' can trigger the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 if it is specific to the user's situation. Agents must remain informational to avoid crossing the fiduciary and regulatory threshold.
