It Does What You Tell It. That Is The Whole Design 🔐

$FET and $INJ both point at a future where software executes without a human in the loop. The nearer question is narrower. What does an execution agent do when the instruction is bad?

Bankr's answer is that it does not act on its own. It executes what you tell it, which sounds obvious until you notice how much of the scam surface in DeFi depends on people assuming otherwise.

Three things follow.

Giveaways are not automatic. If something claims an agent will send you tokens for engaging, no instruction you gave produced that, and nobody's agent is distributing funds on a stranger's behalf.

Contract addresses need checking against an official source before you act on them, because an agent transacts with whatever address you hand it.

And the newer one. An agent that installs skills from links can be pointed at a malicious link the same way it is pointed at a legitimate one. Instruction passing between agents needs guardrails that mostly do not exist yet.

Bankr runs token scanning through Blockaid, simulates transactions before execution, and screens for prompt injection. Its own documentation is candid that these layers do not catch everything, and that candour is the part worth copying.

An agent multiplies your instructions. That includes the wrong ones.
