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

RISK

Why intentTransfer is rated Critical

Severity is critical because an AI agent misusing this could drain wallets, send funds to wrong addresses, or authorize unauthorized transfers at scale.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'Transfer[s] ERC20 tokens or native ETH to an address'; moving cryptocurrency constitutes financial transactions with irreversible effects.
