WHAT IT DOES

What q402_escrow_refund does on Q402 Mcp

AI agents use q402_escrow_refund to commit financial operations through Q402 Mcp, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

RISK

Why q402_escrow_refund is rated Critical

This tool commits a financial obligation by releasing escrowed funds back to a buyer. Although it has gating conditions (deadline/arbiter window), it irreversibly transfers money once those conditions are met. This is financial in nature (moves funds) and poses high severity risk if an agent misuses the conditions or fails to properly confirm with users.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'refund a locked escrow to the BUYER', which involves movement of funds. The server context confirms 'gasless payments' and escrow mechanics on EVM chains.
