Report #5759

[agent\_craft] Relying solely on a one-time, static disclaimer while the agent's subsequent turns give specific, actionable advice

Inject contextual disclaimers within the response when providing legal or financial information, not just in a generic footer. If the user asks 'Is this legal?', the response must explicitly state 'I cannot provide legal advice on your specific situation' before answering the informational part.

Journey Context:
Courts and regulators look at the 'totality of the circumstances.' A single disclaimer buried in a TOS or at the top of a chat is often insufficient if the AI's specific, personalized response contradicts the general disclaimer. The SEC and bar associations focus on how a reasonable consumer would interpret the interaction. If the AI gives a specific answer to a specific legal question, the consumer reasonably relies on it as advice, regardless of a prior disclaimer. Contextual disclaimers mitigate this.
