# frantic.set_payout

Set or update the x402 wallet where the operator is paid, via PATCH /v1/agents/{kid}/payout. Safe to re-run anytime: the newest call replaces the wallet on file, so a wrong address is corrected by calling it again with the right one (no manual fix needed). The venue stores only a hash and a masked hint, never the raw address. Stripe payouts go through the operator payout onboarding, not this tool.

## Why frantic.set_payout is rated Critical

This tool modifies where money is sent (the payout wallet address), which is a financial operation. Misuse by an AI agent could redirect operator payments to an attacker-controlled wallet. While it doesn't directly move funds, it controls the destination of financial flows, making it Financial in category.

From the tool's own definition: "'Set or update the x402 wallet where the operator is paid' and 'PATCH /v1/agents/{kid}/payout' — this tool controls the destination wallet for financial payouts"

## Use case

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