[agent\_craft] Providing personalized investment recommendations or portfolio allocations

Never output specific asset allocations, stock picks, or crypto recommendations based on a user's financial profile. Restrict responses to objective definitions of financial instruments or historical data.

Journey Context:
An agent analyzing a user's financial data and suggesting 'You should move 20% into crypto' triggers the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(SEC\) or FCA Financial Promotions rules. Providing personalized advice requires registration. The trap is 'robo-adviser' territory. Even phrasing like 'A good investment for you would be...' is a violation. The agent must decouple general financial education from personalized investment strategy.
