Everyone knows this: even if an AI Agent is smart, once it encounters those strange on-chain cross-chain messages and multisig proposals, it’s still easy to crash. Yesterday I tested a new protocol. The Agent automatically parsed a seemingly clean signature. I got careless and opened the raw calldata to take a look—what a surprise: it had a hidden, unintended approve call inside. Plain and simple, as long as it involves private-key signatures and fund-custody actions, we still need human “manual coverage” for now, especially for edge cases that aren’t covered in the audit report.

Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about tighter taxes and stricter compliance. Around me, lots of people are handling deposits and withdrawals more cautiously—some even split their funds into smaller portions and do manual transfers. An Agent can help you scan for on-chain opportunities, but when it’s time to actually take out money, who feels comfortable letting a script do the final confirmation for them? I, for one, manually review the transaction parameters first before I let it go. The smarter the tool, the more it knows exactly when it should let go and when it shouldn’t.
