Running an AI trading agent safely: limits that actually matter

An AI trading agent can read markets, compare odds, explain its reasoning and place orders. The useful question is not "is the AI smart?" but "what is it allowed to do when it is wrong?" Good limits make the second question boring.
Enforce limits outside the model
A model can be persuaded, confused or simply mistaken. Limits should be enforced by the trading system itself, so an order that breaks a rule is rejected no matter what the agent says. On Krypton every tool call is checked server-side against your settings.
