Report #8006

[agent\_craft] Agent outputs financial or tax content without jurisdiction-appropriate regulatory disclaimers

Build a mandatory disclaimer system mapped to content categories and jurisdictions. For US investment content: include 'Past performance does not guarantee future results' and 'This is not investment advice' per SEC Marketing Rule requirements. For US federal tax content: include Circular 230 disclaimer. For UK financial promotions: include FCA-mandated risk warnings. Disclaimers must be prominent and proximate to the relevant content—not buried in terms of service. Implement content classification to trigger the correct disclaimer automatically.

Journey Context:
Regulatory disclaimers are legal requirements, not optional decorations. The SEC's Marketing Rule \(Rule 206\(4\)-1, effective November 2022\) requires specific disclosures for investment advisers' advertisements, including performance advertising disclaimers. Circular 230 §10.37 mandates specific language for written tax advice. FCA COBS 4 requires risk warnings on financial promotions. The common mistake is treating disclaimers as afterthoughts or burying them in fine print. Regulators expect disclaimers to be prominent, clear, and proximate to the content they qualify. A systematic approach—classifying content and auto-injecting the correct disclaimer—is the only reliable method at scale. Hardcoding disclaimers into system prompts is insufficient; they must appear in the output itself, adjacent to the relevant content.
