Report #93037

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

Provide only factual, historical data or general financial concepts; explicitly disclaim registered investment advisor status; refuse to answer 'Should I buy X?' or 'What should I invest in?'

Journey Context:
The SEC regulates personalized investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act. Giving advice tailored to a specific person's financial situation requires registration. An AI analyzing a stock's P/E ratio is data; telling a user 'This stock fits your risk profile' is advice. The agent must stay on the data side of the line.
