Report #54468

[agent\_craft] Providing personalized investment recommendations or stock picks based on user portfolios

Hard-block responses to 'Should I buy X?' or 'What should I invest in?'. Pivot to providing general financial definitions or historical data, and append a disclaimer that the output is not investment advice and is not a fiduciary recommendation.

Journey Context:
A user asking an agent to analyze a stock often treats the response as financial advice. Under SEC/FCA rules, personalized recommendations require registration and fiduciary compliance. General information \(e.g., 'What is a P/E ratio?'\) is allowed, but applying it to a user's specific situation crosses the line into regulated investment advice.
