On November 11, 2026, Foresight News reported, citing a Coinbase blog post, that Coinbase had introduced Agent Controls for Coinbase for Agents, its MCP service. The controls let users set limits on trades placed through an AI agent.
The available settings include a maximum dollar amount for each trade and a 24-hour trading-volume limit. Trades that exceed the volume limit cannot be executed. Users can also set an auto-stop threshold: if their portfolio loss exceeds the chosen percentage, the agent stops placing orders until the user re-enables trading in the Coinbase app.
According to the report, these controls run on Coinbase’s servers. Users manage them by signing in through the Coinbase app or website; the AI agent cannot change or bypass them. Product permissions are not yet available: Coinbase said the forthcoming feature will let users choose which product categories an agent can trade, including crypto, stocks and derivatives.
