## Why deposit is rated Critical

This tool directly moves USDC (a stablecoin representing real financial value) from an agent's wallet into a yield vault on Base mainnet. This is a core Financial operation that commits monetary assets and creates yield-bearing positions. Even though it is non-custodial (user retains control), the tool enables irreversible capital deployment that obligates funds to a smart contract protocol.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description explicitly states 'Deposit USDC into a Forge Treasury vault' and 'The agent must approve USDC to the vault contract first'."

## Use case

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