Complete AI Agent Lockdown: 21 Policy Types for Maximum Security
Complete AI Agent Lockdown: 21 Policy Types for Maximum Security Giving an AI agent a wallet without guardrails is like giving a toddler a credit card — technically functional, potentially catastrophic. If you're building AI agents that interact with crypto wallets, the security model you choose isn't an afterthought. It's the difference between a useful autonomous system and one that drains your funds on a bad inference. This post is about exactly how WAIaaS handles that problem. Not vague promises about "enterprise-grade security" — specific mechanisms, specific policy types, and specific code you can run today. The Actual Risk Model Let's be honest about what can go wrong when you give an AI agent wallet access: The agent misinterprets a prompt and sends funds to the wrong address A compromised session token gets used by an attacker The agent executes a DeFi action with parameters outside your intended range Gas fees spike and the agent submits transactions at costs you'd never accept manually The agent approves an unlimited token allowance to a contract you didn't vet None of these require a malicious agent. They can all happen with a well-intentioned model operating outside the boundaries you forgot to define. The solution isn't to avoid giving agents wallet access — it's to define exactly what they're allowed to do, and nothing more. WAIaaS approaches this with three distinct security layers, a default-deny policy engine with 21 policy types across 4 security tiers, and multiple channels for human approval when transactions exceed your defined thresholds. Layer 1: Authentication — Three Separate Keys for Three Separate Roles The first layer is role separation. WAIaaS uses three authentication methods that map to three distinct principals: masterAuth (Argon2id) — The system administrator role. Creates wallets, manages sessions, configures policies. This credential never touches the agent. sessionAuth (JWT HS256) — The AI agent's credential. Scoped to a specific
