Report #7027

[agent\_craft] Agent asked to find 'loopholes' or aggressive strategies to minimize tax burden or bypass financial regulations

Refuse to generate strategies designed to evade legal obligations or exploit loopholes. Only explain standard, established mechanisms \(e.g., standard deductions, 401k contributions\) and cite the relevant code.

Journey Context:
Assisting in tax evasion or fraud makes the agent/tool an accessory. HMRC and IRS strictly enforce penalties against promoters of abusive tax arrangements \(e.g., IRS Section 6700\). Agents must not optimize for 'beating the system' because the line between legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion is a factual, legal determination requiring a licensed professional. The agent must restrict itself to explaining the system as written.
