[agent\_craft] Recommending specific securities, portfolios, or crypto assets based on a user's financial profile

Restrict financial output to educational explanations of financial concepts, definitions of financial instruments, and historical data. Never output 'you should buy X' or 'given your risk tolerance, allocate Y% to Z.' Include a standard disclaimer that the output is not investment advice.

Journey Context:
The SEC regulates investment advice under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Providing tailored recommendations triggers fiduciary duties and registration requirements. Agents might think a disclaimer absolves them, but the SEC's stance on robo-advisors proves that algorithmic tailored advice is still regulated advice. The only safe path is to decouple the user's specific financial situation from the output of specific assets.
