# Is GMX safe to connect to an AI agent?

**Can trade unattended.** [Safety 68%](https://tradingagentstack.com/safety-score/) Can trade unattended. Built from our sourced listing, last checked 2026-10-30. Not financial advice.

## What an AI agent can do

- **Live vs paper:** live; testnet contracts on Arbitrum Sepolia and Avalanche Fuji [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

- **Order approval:** Official agent skills and a Claude Code plugin; MCP server not yet released. No exchange API keys: bots sign with a wallet, and delegated subaccount signers trade with an expiry and an action cap and can't withdraw [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

- **Markets:** crypto perpetuals (pool-based, oracle-priced)

- **Pricing:** no API fee; 0.04% or 0.06% to open or close, plus price impact, borrowing and funding

## Safeguards that exist

- **Order approval or confirmation options:** No per-order approval; a delegated signer has an expiry and a maximum action count (official docs) [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

- **Paper, demo or testnet mode:** Contracts deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia and Avalanche Fuji (no testnet app) (official docs) [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/addresses)

- **Withdrawal permission needed or allowed:** A delegated subaccount signer can't withdraw, and order proceeds return to the main account (official docs) [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

- **Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting:** Delegated subaccount signers with expiry, action caps and gasless revocation (official docs) [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

- **Open source or audited:** Open source [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)

## Safeguards that are missing

- **Can it place live orders unattended?:** API orders execute with no per-order approval step [source](https://docs.gmx.io/docs/api/contracts/delegated-trading)
