Limitations

Key limitations: Live money, taxes, refunds, and license entitlements require review. Live payments, refunds, payouts, tax, disputes, and business verification can move money or create compliance exposure; keep agents in sandbox or test mode until a human approves live changes. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging. Account setup or elevated access may require vendor, admin, or compliance approval before an agent can operate independently.
