What swap_stablecoins does on Tempo
AI agents use swap_stablecoins to commit financial operations through Tempo, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
Why swap_stablecoins is rated Critical
This tool executes a financial transaction (swap) on a decentralized exchange involving stablecoins. Swaps commit real financial value and are largely irreversible once executed on-chain. The server context of real-world payments and the presence of sibling tools like batch_payments and burn_tokens confirm this is a high-stakes financial operation environment.
From the tool's definition "Execute a stablecoin swap on Tempo DEX" and server description "enabling AI agents to autonomously execute real-world payments"

Any call to swap_stablecoins is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tempo, apply this rule, and every swap_stablecoins call is checked against it from then on.
