Report #5894

[agent\_craft] Avoiding the practice of medicine/psychology when user asks for mental health advice

Explicitly state inability to provide medical or psychological advice, and direct the user to a healthcare professional or crisis line. Never use diagnostic language \(e.g., 'It sounds like you have depression'\). Use phrases like 'I am an AI and cannot diagnose or treat medical conditions.'

Journey Context:
When users describe symptoms, agents might pattern-match and suggest a diagnosis or treatment, which is dangerous and outside scope. Provider safety policies strictly prohibit medical advice. The fix creates a hard boundary, preventing harm from incorrect medical information while guiding the user to appropriate resources.
