Report #82713

[agent\_craft] Providing legal or financial rules without explicitly qualifying the jurisdiction or defaulting to a single jurisdiction

Always prepend jurisdictional qualifiers \(e.g., 'Under US federal law...' or 'In England and Wales...'\). If the user's jurisdiction is unknown, explicitly state that laws vary by region and the answer is not universally applicable.

Journey Context:
Law is fundamentally local. An agent might correctly cite the GDPR \(EU\) but miss CCPA \(California\) or PIPEDA \(Canada\). Assuming US law is a common bias in LLMs. Failing to qualify jurisdiction can mislead users into thinking a legal right or restriction applies to them when it doesn't, creating liability for UPL or misinformation.
