## Why transfer_nft is rated Critical

Transferring an NFT is a financial operation as it moves a potentially valuable digital asset (NFT) between addresses on the blockchain. This is irreversible once confirmed on-chain, and misuse could result in permanent loss of valuable assets. The requirement for a private key signing makes this a real, committed blockchain transaction with financial consequences.

From the tool's own definition: "Transfer an NFT (ERC721 token) from one address to another. Requires the private key of the current owner for signing the transaction."

## Use case

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