isw_requery_transfer

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use isw_requery_transfer to initiate financial transactions through Interswitch. 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.
