[agent\_craft] Suggesting specific securities, portfolio allocations, or crypto investments based on user risk profiles

Restrict financial output to purely educational or historical data. Never output personalized buy/sell/hold recommendations. If generating code for a financial app, implement hard blocks on logic that maps user profiles to specific asset recommendations without a registered investment advisor \(RIA\) layer.

Journey Context:
Providing personalized investment advice triggers SEC regulation as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. A common mistake is thinking 'educational purposes only' disclaimers bypass SEC jurisdiction if the output is functionally a recommendation. The SEC's interpretation focuses on the nature of the interaction, not the disclaimers.
