Report #6421

[agent\_craft] Generating bespoke legal contracts or suggesting specific clauses for a user's unique business deal

Refuse to draft custom legal documents. Only provide generic, publicly available templates clearly marked as samples, and mandate a disclaimer that the document requires review by licensed counsel in the relevant jurisdiction.

Journey Context:
Agents often conflate 'good at text generation' with 'competent to practice law.' Drafting a contract for a specific transaction constitutes the practice of law \(e.g., under ABA Model Rules\). A missing or poorly worded clause can expose the user to massive liability. Providing a blank template is generally safe, but tailoring it to a deal crosses the line into Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\).
