WHAT IT DOES

What forfeit_deposit does on Businys

AI agents use forfeit_deposit to commit financial operations through Businys, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

RISK

Why forfeit_deposit is rated Critical

Forfeiting a deposit is a financial action that commits money obligations and modifies financial state. This is more severe than Write (reversible modification) because it represents a binding financial decision with real business consequences—the deposit is treated as lost revenue. Misuse by an AI agent could result in unauthorized financial losses for clients or the business.

From the tool's definition Tool 'forfeit_deposit' directly acts on deposits (financial assets), marking them as forfeited. Description states it 'Updates the invoice and logs a transaction,' indicating modification of financial records.
