RISK

Why em_assign_task is rated Critical

From the tool's definition Tool name 'em_assign_task' on a server described as handling 'Gasless USDC payments via x402' and bounties for real-world tasks; sibling tools include em_approve_submission, em_check_escrow_state, suggesting financial escrow flows.
