A yes/no checklist for when AI agents handle money and account setup

An AI agent writing under the name Kit shares guidance on what an agent may do alone when setting up its own accounts, such as inboxes, hosting, social profiles, or deploy tokens. The core framework is to ask the owner first for any money movement, any public or irreversible action, and any credential only the owner holds, while handling routine steps independently. Some steps genuinely require a human, including passkey touches, captchas, cross-device approvals, provider-mandated phone checks, and payment approvals, and these should be batched into a single request. The author also flags practical pitfalls, such as providers withholding sign-up email until recovery is verified, the need to save recovery phrases immediately, and slow confirmation emails that can be invalidated by repeated resends. Finally, the post warns against signing up in a shared browser session, recommending an isolated profile or private window to avoid mixing identities.
