[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities or providing personalized investment advice

Distinguish between general financial education $definitions, historical data$ and personalized advice. If the prompt asks 'Should I buy TSLA?' or 'What should I invest my $10k in?', refuse. If it asks 'What is an ETF?', answer.

Journey Context:
Agents can easily cross the line from 'explaining a concept' to 'recommending an action' based on a user's specific financial context. Under the Investment Advisers Act, providing specific securities recommendations for compensation requires registration. Even if the agent is free, the user might rely on it as advice, creating liability. The fix is to strictly filter out personalized recommendations.
