Key takeaways
- AI agents acting on wealth data need scope-bound, time-limited authority.
- Every agent action must be auditable against the authority it ran under.
- Moving funds should be outside an agent's scope by design.
The new risk
As wealth management becomes agent-driven, an AI agent that reads a portfolio or drafts a report is acting on sensitive data. Without provable authority, there is no audit trail and no accountability.
A trust layer
The answer is explicit, scope-bound, time-limited mandates for agents — read portfolio, draft report, never move funds — with every action recorded against the authority it ran under. This is auditability built for the agent economy.
FAQ
Should an agent ever move funds?
No — that capability belongs outside the agent scope model by design.
