## Why transfer_erc20 is rated Critical

Transferring ERC20 tokens constitutes direct movement of financial assets and creates irreversible blockchain transactions. This is a financial operation rather than merely Execute because it inherently involves transfer of value. An AI agent with misuse could drain wallets, steal funds, or cause significant financial harm.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description: 'Transfer ERC20 tokens to another address'. ERC20 tokens represent financial value on EVM blockchains."

## Use case

AI agents use transfer_erc20 to commit financial operations through EVM MCP Server, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
