## Why mint_tokens is rated Critical

Minting tokens is a financial operation that creates new units of currency/stablecoin out of thin air and transfers them to a recipient. On a stablecoin payments platform, this has direct financial consequences — it increases token supply and can be used to fraudulently credit accounts. If misused by an AI agent, it could result in unbacked token issuance, financial fraud, or economic damage to the stablecoin system.

From the tool's own definition: "'Mint new TIP-20 tokens to a recipient address' — minting tokens creates new monetary supply and assigns financial value to a recipient, directly impacting the stablecoin economy on the Tempo blockchain."

## Use case

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