What create_job does on Cardzero

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

Why create_job needs a policy

This tool commits USDC funds into escrow on a smart contract, which is a financial obligation. Even though funds are held in escrow rather than immediately transferred, real money is locked and at risk. Misuse could result in loss of user funds if an incorrect provider or budget is specified, making this a critical financial operation.

From the tool's definition 'escrows USDC payment', 'Confirm budget + provider with user first', 'A2A service delivery'
