# Threat Mode

Redelegator's design assumes agents can fail, be exploited, or be prompt-hijacked — and bounds the blast radius accordingly.

| Scenario                      | Outcome                                                                                             |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A middle agent is compromised | It can redeem only up to the cap it received; it **cannot** widen authority or redirect the outcome |
| An agent's prompt is hijacked | The strategy is zod-validated and the route is fixed before execution; spend stays capped on-chain  |
| The relayer misbehaves        | It can only redeem the signed chain as-is; the swap recipient is the user's wallet                  |
| The user changes their mind   | One revoke disables the root → the whole chain dies                                                 |
| The grant is forgotten        | It is periodic and expires in \~1 hour                                                              |

What the model deliberately does **not** rely on: trusting agent code, off-chain promises, or the relayer's honesty. The guarantees are the `Erc20TransferAmount` caveat, the scoped EIP-7715 grant, the user-as-recipient swap, and on-chain revocation.

> 🔒 **Server-side secrets:** agent keys and API keys live only in `.env.local` and are read only by API routes — the browser sees addresses, never keys.
