My agent watches my crypto wallet every 30 minutes and pings me if money moves out

He gave the AI an xpub for his crypto wallet. That is watch only access: The AI can see the public addresses but cannot move anything. The AI checks the blockchain every 30 minutes and pings him about any outgoing payment, so if his seed phrase were ever stolen he would know fast.

How it works

He hands the AI the wallet xpub, watch only
The AI checks the blockchain every 30 minutes
Any outgoing payment triggers a ping to him

Why it’s worth knowing

The safety comes from what the agent cannot do. It watches with view only access and shouts if money moves.
