## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "transfer",
    "arguments": {
      "amount": 0,
      "api_key": "<api_key>",
      "from_agent_id": "<from_agent_id>"
    }
  }
}
```

## Why transfer is rated Critical

This tool directly moves money (ERC-20 tokens, specifically USDC on Polygon per server context) between parties. Misuse by an AI agent could result in unauthorized token transfers, loss of funds, or commitment of financial resources. This is the highest severity risk category. The requirement for an API key does not mitigate the core financial risk once authenticated.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool is described as 'Transfer ERC-20 tokens between agents or to an external wallet' with a platform fee, indicating it moves cryptocurrency (USDC per server description) and commits financial obligations."

Risk signals: Handles credentials or secrets (api_key)

## Use case

AI agents use transfer to commit financial operations through Ai Agent Bank, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
