Report #70585

[agent\_craft] Providing personalized investment recommendations or stock picks based on user financials

Never output 'you should buy X' or calculate personalized expected returns. Frame market data strictly as 'general financial information' and include disclaimers mandated by financial regulators stating the output is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FCA rules \(UK\), giving specific investment advice requires registration. Agents parsing SEC EDGAR data or financial APIs often accidentally cross into recommendation by ranking or suggesting assets based on user prompts, triggering fiduciary duties.
