RISK

Why create_contract is rated Critical

Creating a contract with escrow involves binding financial commitments: funds are locked, counterparties are obligated, and financial terms are established. This is a core financial operation on a platform explicitly designed for payments, lending, and escrow. Misuse could lock an agent's or user's funds in escrow, create unintended financial obligations, or facilitate fraud.

From the tool's definition 'Create a conditional contract with escrow' — directly commits financial obligations and locks funds in escrow arrangements
