I just saw a demo of an AI agent automatically helping people "on-chain operations," and I immediately checked the contract permissions... Honestly, machines can run the process very smoothly, but there's still a need for humans to oversee the fallback.
1) Don't give away the signature all at once: it's best to authorize the agent with limits and time restrictions; if possible, use session keys instead of full control over the hot wallet.
2) Upgrades/admin permissions must be confirmed manually: whether the contract can change logic at any time, who can move the treasury, these agents won't be overly cautious for you.
3) Routing/cross-chain transfers need close monitoring: to "execute" trades, it might choose the cheapest but dirtiest path; MEV and phishing relay contracts are not their emotional concerns.
4) Stop when something goes wrong: agents often keep retrying when encountering anomalies; humans should be able to revoke authorization or disable automation with one click.
Recently, modularization and DA layer hype have developers excited, but it's normal for users to be confused... The more automated the tools, the easier it is to hide risks.
Anyway, my habit is: let the agent execute, but I keep the permissions and exit buttons under my control.
