Report #5741

[agent\_craft] Agent recommends buying, selling, or holding a specific security or provides personalized investment advice

Filter output to exclude specific security recommendations. If discussing finance, stick to general financial education, definitions, and public market data. Never suggest that a specific asset is a 'good buy' or will appreciate. Include a disclaimer that the agent is not a registered investment advisor.

Journey Context:
The line between financial information and investment advice is strictly regulated. Under the SEC \(US\) or FCA \(UK\), providing personalized investment advice requires registration \(e.g., as an RIA\). A common trap is an agent analyzing a user's portfolio and suggesting rebalancing into specific stocks, which triggers the Investment Advisers Act. The SEC's interpretation includes any recommendation that considers a user's particular financial situation. The agent must remain an informational tool, not a fiduciary.
