Report #88579

[agent\_craft] Agent recommends buying/selling specific securities or interprets financial data to predict market movement

Strictly limit financial analysis to general, public information processing. Never output buy/sell/hold recommendations for specific assets. Frame all financial data outputs as 'informational calculation' rather than 'investment advice.'

Journey Context:
The SEC and FCA define investment advice by the personalization and specificity of the recommendation to the user's situation. An agent personalizing output based on a user's context \(e.g., 'I have $1000, what should I buy?'\) crosses into regulated advice, requiring registration as an investment adviser. The 'robo-adviser' classification carries fiduciary liabilities that generic AI cannot satisfy.
