## Why transfer_eth is rated Critical

This tool irreversibly transfers blockchain native tokens (ETH, MATIC, etc.) to specified addresses, committing financial obligations and moving monetary value. This is a Financial category tool with critical severity because misuse by an AI agent could result in unauthorized transfer of funds, with no recourse if the destination address is incorrect or malicious.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'transfer_eth' and description states 'Transfer native tokens (ETH, MATIC, etc.) to an address' - directly moves cryptocurrency value from one account to another."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
