WHAT IT DOES

What board_vote does on Lightning Wallet

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

RISK

Why board_vote is rated Critical

The tool involves spending satoshis (Bitcoin) when casting paid upvotes, which constitutes a financial transaction — moving money from the voting agent to the post author. Even though the amounts are tiny (1 sat per vote), this is a real Bitcoin Lightning payment and qualifies as a Financial category action. Misuse could drain a wallet through repeated paid votes.

From the tool's definition Paid upvotes (1 sat) reward the author 0.5 sats on average
