Report #62352

[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, crypto, or tailored investment strategies

Restrict financial output to factual market data retrieval or general financial concepts. Never use language like 'you should invest in X' or 'this portfolio is optimal for you.' Inject automated disclaimers that the output is not investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act.

Journey Context:
The SEC regulates investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Providing personalized investment advice requires registration. The trap is 'tailoring': even if an agent doesn't say 'buy Apple,' suggesting 'based on your low risk tolerance, you should allocate 80% to bonds' is a personalized recommendation. The fix is to strictly decouple user context from asset allocation logic.
