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

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