Is Polymarket API safe to connect to an AI agent?

What an AI agent can do

• Live vs paper: live only (no testnet); CLOB V2 since Apr 28 2026 source
• Order approval: wallet-signed orders on the international CLOB (V2 SDKs: py-clob-client-v2, clob-client-v2); separate Polymarket US API with Ed25519 keys and an order preview endpoint source
• Markets: prediction markets
• Pricing: API access free; trading fees vary by market

Safeguards that exist

• Withdrawal permission needed or allowed: Can't withdraw or move your funds (you sign or withdrawals stay off) source
• Scoped keys, permission scopes or IP whitelisting: Scoped access (scopes, read-only mode, dedicated or separate account) source

Safeguards that are missing

• Can it place live orders unattended?: Orders are signed by your wallet key; a bot holding the key can trade with no approval step. The preview endpoint belongs to the separate Polymarket US API. source
• Order approval or confirmation options: No approval or limit option in our listing source
• Paper, demo or testnet mode: Live only, no paper or demo mode source
• Open source or audited: No public source code in our listing source
