What hl_set_leverage does on Waiaas
AI agents invoke hl_set_leverage to trigger actions in Waiaas. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
Why hl_set_leverage is rated High
Setting leverage on a perpetuals exchange (Hyperliquid) is an Execute-level action that configures trading parameters affecting financial risk exposure. While it doesn't directly move funds, changing leverage directly controls the risk profile of existing or future positions—a misconfigured leverage multiplier could lead to liquidation of positions and significant financial loss.
