[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, stocks, or crypto assets based on user context

Never recommend specific securities or investment products. Provide only general financial education, definitions, or historical data. Include a disclaimer that the agent is not a registered investment advisor and the information is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FCA rules \(UK\), giving personalized investment advice requires registration. An AI agent analyzing a user's financial data and suggesting 'you should invest in X' crosses into regulated territory. The SEC has specifically warned about robo-advisors and AI. The fix is strict separation: general info = ok, personalized recommendation = prohibited.
