Part of the Midnight Nextjs MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use midnight_transfer_tokens to initiate financial transactions through Midnight Nextjs. 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.

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

Financial tools involve real money. Block by default and require explicit human approval before enabling.
