What an AI agent can do

Live vs paper: live and testnet (the quickstart runs on Base Sepolia with CDP Faucets) source
Order approval: server wallets for agents and backends: Coinbase keeps private keys inside a Trusted Execution Environment and your server controls the accounts with API keys; a Policy Engine accepts or rejects each operation by destination address, value and network before signing; no human-approval step in the policy docs source
Markets: EVM networks (e.g. Base)
Pricing: first 5,000 wallet operations per month free, then $0.005 per operation

Paper, demo or testnet mode: Paper, demo or testnet mode available source
Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Secret API keys support IP allowlists and granular permission restrictions; a separate Wallet Secret is required for wallet write operations (official docs) source

Can it place live orders unattended?: Can place live orders with no documented approval step source
Order approval or confirmation options: No approval or limit option in our listing source
Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Requests are allowed when no policy rule matches; the Policy Engine can allowlist destination addresses and cap value (official docs) source
Open source or audited: No public source code in our listing source
