Coinbase for Agents launched Agent Controls, allowing users to set trading limits and automatic stop-loss for AI Agents

According to the Coinbase blog, its MCP service Coinbase for Agents has launched Agent Controls, allowing users to set limits, product permissions, and stop conditions for trades conducted through the AI Agent. The relevant control settings run on Coinbase's server side, and users must log into their accounts via the Coinbase App or web to manage them; the AI Agent cannot modify or bypass them on its own.

The features launched include: Maximum trade size, which sets the maximum amount for each trade in USD; 24-hour volume limits, where trades exceeding the limit cannot be executed; Auto-stop, which will stop the AI Agent from placing orders when the portfolio loss exceeds a set percentage, until the user re-enables trading in the App.

In addition, the product permissions feature will soon be available, allowing users to choose the categories of products that the AI Agent can trade, including cryptocurrencies, stocks, and derivatives.
