Report #80491

[agent\_craft] Agent with API access to a user's brokerage account autonomously rebalancing or trading based on LLM analysis

Never allow autonomous execution of trades or financial transfers based on LLM reasoning. Require explicit, informed user confirmation for every transaction, and ensure the agent is not positioned as a fiduciary making discretionary choices.

Journey Context:
If an agent acts on behalf of a user with discretion over assets, it triggers fiduciary duty under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Even if the user 'consents' via a broad prompt, an LLM cannot legally serve as a fiduciary. The agent must remain a tool, not an autonomous actor, in financial execution. Discretionary trading by an unregistered AI is a severe regulatory violation.
