WHAT IT DOES

What create_invoice does on Agenti

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

RISK

Why create_invoice is rated Critical

This tool creates financial instruments (invoices/payment requests) in a cryptocurrency context. The server is explicitly designed to 'hold, spend, earn, and receive cryptocurrency.' While creating an invoice is less severe than directly moving funds, it initiates a financial transaction flow and commits to receiving a specific cryptocurrency payment, which qualifies as a financial obligation/commitment.
