Setting up an AI agent with Coinbase? Read our Coinbase for Agents setup guide and follow the Connect an AI agent to your broker path. Before connecting, use our AI agent safety checklist.
An agent with trade permission can place real crypto orders. Give it its own small portfolio, use the least-privilege API key, and never grant transfer or withdrawal rights you don't need. Coinbase's docs disagree in places about which agent features are live, so check the current docs. Expect phishing that impersonates Coinbase support.
