# Risks of Autonomous Economic Activity: Security, Reliability and Control
While agent economies promise efficiency and programmability, they also raise unique risks:
- **Security:** Malicious agents, bugs, or manipulation could drain value or disrupt transactions
- **Reliability:** Protocol errors might cause downtime, payment failures, or denial of service
- **Loss of Control:** Unchecked autonomy could see agents acting counter to user or system intent
- **Regulatory Gaps:** Legal frameworks for autonomous machine contracts remain nascent
## Mitigation Approaches
- Granular permissions and oversight structures
- On-chain audit trails
- Circuit breakers/limits on agent authority
## Tsuka’s Stance
Sovereignty comes with responsibility - whether for a human or an AI agent. Verification, layered defense, and evidence are core values for any open protocol.
