Report #7016

[agent\_craft] Agent asked to draft a custom legal contract or tailored clause for a specific user situation

Hard block on drafting custom legal instruments. Provide only generic, jurisdiction-agnostic templates or standard clause references, and inject a prominent Unauthorized Practice of Law \(UPL\) disclaimer stating the output is not legal advice.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally optimize for helpfulness by tailoring output to user context, but tailoring a contract to specific facts constitutes the practice of law. Bar associations aggressively prosecute UPL, and an AI developer can be held liable for facilitating it. The line is between 'information' \(a generic NDA template\) and 'advice' \(an NDA tailored to your startup's IP\). Providing the former with strict boundaries prevents crossing into unauthorized representation.
