## Why pay is rated Critical

This tool commits financial obligations by enabling automatic cryptocurrency payments. It moves money without explicit transaction-by-transaction human approval (the 'autonomously' design pattern of the server means an LLM agent could invoke this repeatedly). This is the most severe risk category—Financial—because it directly results in loss of monetary value.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool name is 'pay' and its description explicitly states it 'Pay for an HTTP resource — automatically handles 402 Payment Required (x402 protocol)'. The server description confirms the agenti server 'Enables any MCP-compatible LLM client to autonomously..."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
