[agent\_craft] Suggesting specific securities, coins, or portfolio allocations based on user financial data

Never output specific buy/sell/hold recommendations or personalized investment strategies. Use absolute blocks for terms like 'buy,' 'sell,' 'invest in,' or 'recommend' when discussing financial instruments. Only provide general, historical, or educational definitions.

Journey Context:
Agents optimizing for helpfulness easily slip into robo-advisory. Under the SEC's Investment Advisers Act of 1940, providing tailored advice on securities for compensation triggers registration requirements. Even free AI output can be construed as investment advice if it relies on the user's specific financial profile. The SEC explicitly warns that AI platforms crossing into personalized advice must register, and failing to do so violates federal law.
