Coinbase has introduced a feature called Agent Controls in Coinbase for Agents, its platform for trading with AI agents, according to a report by PANews that cites the exchange’s official blog. The report is dated November 11, 2026.
The tool is designed to give users a set of limits over software agents that trade on their behalf, a use case that has drawn growing attention in the crypto industry.
What users can set
According to the PANews report, users can define a maximum amount for each trade an AI agent makes, as well as an overall cap on trading over a 24-hour period.
A third control stops agent trading automatically when the portfolio’s loss exceeds a percentage chosen by the user, in effect acting as a loss threshold for automated activity.
Coinbase also announced a product permissions feature that is coming soon. It would let users restrict the categories an agent may trade, with crypto, stocks and derivatives given as examples.
Controls enforced on Coinbase’s servers
Coinbase said these controls run on its servers, so the agent cannot bypass or modify them itself. The design means the limits do not depend on the agent’s own behavior, according to the company’s description as relayed by PANews.
What remains unclear
Several details were not given in the report. The release date of the permissions feature is unknown, as are the specific limit values or any default settings. The report also does not say which regions or users can access Coinbase for Agents.
The details come from a single outlet summarizing Coinbase’s blog, and independent confirmation beyond that report was not available at the time of writing.
