// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use sbtc_deposit to initiate financial transactions through Aibtc. Financial operations involve real money and are irreversible once processed. Intercept blocks financial tools by default, requiring explicit human approval with transaction-level limits to prevent unauthorised spending.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON SBTC_DEPOSIT

sbtc_deposit moves real money. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could initiate transactions that drain accounts or exceed budgets. Intercept blocks financial tools by default, requiring human-in-the-loop approval with configurable spending limits per transaction and per time window.
