A separate server-side flow creates `TradeIntent`; deterministic risk evaluates it; the user confirms an exact ticket; only the execution boundary can sign. No model tool receives an exchange credential or direct execution function. A future paid agent/API product does not weaken this boundary. It may replace per-order clicking only after the user creates a revocable, expiring automation policy that fixes account, venue, assets, maximum notional, leverage, loss, drawdown and frequency. A deterministic controller—not the model—must enforce that policy and route every action through current market/account reads, AEGIS risk, exact fee disclosure, one-use idempotency and reconciliation. The signer continues to accept only policy-bound DTOs and never exposes the wallet key. This adds latency and user friction but prevents stochastic output, prompt injection or provider compromise from becoming an order. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://nytshift.gitbook.io/nytshift-docs/architecture-decisions/001-ai-cannot-execute.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
