## Agent Risk Score (v2)

[Agent risk 84% (partial, 6 of 7 inputs)](https://tradingagentstack.com/methodology/#agent-risk-score) If an agent using this tool is wrong, hacked or prompt-injected, how much money can it lose? Higher is safer. Each input links to the vendor's own docs; affiliate links never affect it. [How it's calculated](https://tradingagentstack.com/methodology/#agent-risk-score) · [Incidents](https://tradingagentstack.com/incidents/)

Missing: Transaction preview or simulation. Missing inputs lower the maximum instead of counting as zero.

| Input | From official docs | Points |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who holds the keys | Link keeps your payment methods and issues a new one-time-use card or single-use token for each approved payment; your card details are never exposed to the agent [source](https://github.com/stripe/link-cli) | 10 / 20 |
| Spending limits enforced outside the agent | Link's service limits: $5,000 per spend request, $5,000 a day and $20,000 per 30 days [source](https://github.com/stripe/link-cli) | 20 / 20 |
| Human approval | You approve the amount of every purchase in the Link app before the agent can pay [source](https://link.com/agents) | 15 / 15 |
| Sending funds to new addresses | No payment goes out without your approval in the Link app, and each card or token is single-use [source](https://link.com/agents) | 15 / 15 |
| Transaction preview or simulation | Missing: no official source found yet | missing / 10 |
| Open source and audits | link-cli is open source (MIT); no audit report found [source](https://github.com/stripe/link-cli) | 6 / 10 |
| Incident record (last 12 months) | No incident naming this tool in our incident tracker for the last 12 months, and every scored input links an official source [source](https://tradingagentstack.com/incidents/) | 10 / 10 |
| Total | 84% of the points we could check | **76 / 90** |
