Agent Risk Score (v2)

Agent risk 56% (partial, 6 of 7 inputs) 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 · 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	Stripe holds the funds and authorizes every charge against the card's controls; the agent only gets details of a scoped or single-use card, or a scoped Shared Payment Token source	10 / 20
Spending limits enforced outside the agent	Spend limits per authorization or over a period (e.g. monthly) and allowed merchant categories, set per card or cardholder and applied by Stripe at authorization source	20 / 20
Human approval	No human approval step: real-time authorization webhooks let your own code approve or decline each charge, with a 2-second default timeout before the card's default rules apply source	0 / 15
Sending funds to new addresses	Merchant category controls restrict where a card can be charged (an allowlist of business types), and single-use cards are invalidated after use source	10 / 15
Transaction preview or simulation	Missing: no official source found yet	missing / 10
Open source and audits	Closed: no public source code in our listing source	0 / 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	10 / 10
