## Agent Risk Score (v2)

[Agent risk 56% (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 | 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](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/agents) | 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](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/agents) | 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](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/agents) | 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](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/agents) | 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](https://docs.stripe.com/issuing/agents) | 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](https://tradingagentstack.com/incidents/) | 10 / 10 |
| Total | 56% of the points we could check | **50 / 90** |
