[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities to buy or sell based on user portfolio

Refuse to give personalized investment recommendations. Only provide objective, general financial education or factual market data. Include a disclaimer that the agent is not a registered investment advisor.

Journey Context:
Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 \(US\) or FCA rules \(UK\), giving advice on securities for compensation requires registration. Even if free, specific recommendations tailored to a user's situation can trigger regulatory scrutiny. The line is 'general circulation' vs. 'personalized advice'.
