Coinbase for Agents Adds Hard Trading Limits

This moves agent safety from prompt-level instructions to exchange-enforced policy—the right architecture for software that can move real money.

• –Per-trade and rolling-volume caps contain runaway loops or repeated orders.
• –Portfolio-loss auto-stop adds an account-level circuit breaker beyond model judgment.
• –Product permissions are still forthcoming, so users may not yet be able to restrict which assets agents can trade.
• –The controls complement isolated portfolios, MCP connectivity, and Coinbase’s existing permission model. Coinbase documentation: https://docs.cdp.coinbase.com/ai-agents/coinbase-for-agents/coinbase-mcp
