Report #77862

[agent\_craft] Agent generating positive content about a specific, obscure stock \(penny stock\) that could influence market price

Implement a filter to prevent generating promotional content about specific, low-market-cap securities. Refuse to write 'investment thesis' or 'bull case' articles for specific micro-cap stocks. Restrict stock discussion to large-cap, widely traded securities if discussing market trends.

Journey Context:
The SEC enforces against 'pump and dump' schemes under Section 9\(a\) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Even if the AI doesn't own the stock, generating hype around a penny stock that users act on constitutes market manipulation. AI agents can inadvertently become the 'pump' mechanism.
