Coinbase has launched agent controls on Coinbase for Agents: users can set a maximum amount per transaction and a 24-hour trading limit, and automatically stop agent trading if combined losses exceed a set percentage.

According to Coinbase’s official blog, these controls run on Coinbase’s servers, and agents cannot bypass or modify them. Product permission features are coming soon, allowing users to restrict the categories agents can trade, such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, and derivatives.

This means permission boundaries have shifted from the prompt level to enforcement on the platform side. However, the source material does not specify limit tiers or the precision of automatic stop-loss triggers, so the actual level of protection remains to be seen.

Would you first set a low per-transaction limit, or restrict the categories available for trading?
