How does Pluang control what an AI agent can access or do in my account?
Connecting an AI agent — such as Claude — to your Pluang account through Pluang Agentic Trading is not an all-or-nothing grant of blanket account access; you authorize a specific, scoped set of permissions rather than handing over full control. You never share your Pluang password with the agent — the connection works through a separate authorization mechanism, not password sharing. That permission scope covers what the agent can read (like your portfolio and prices) and what actions it can take (like placing trades). Regardless of how the connection is set up, withdrawing or transferring funds out of your account is never included in what the agent is permitted to do (see "Can the AI agent withdraw or transfer funds out of my account?" for the full explanation). You can also revoke the agent's access at any time (see "How do I revoke an AI agent's access to my Pluang account?"), which immediately shuts off whatever permissions were previously granted — nothing about the connection is permanent or irreversible.
Whatever the final permission screen looks like, two guardrails hold no matter what: the agent can never withdraw or move funds out of your account under any configuration (see "Can the AI agent withdraw or transfer funds out of my account?"), and you retain full ability to revoke its access completely, at any time, for any reason (see "How do I revoke an AI agent's access to my Pluang account?").

Q: Do I need to give the AI agent my Pluang password to connect it?
No. Connecting an AI agent to your Pluang account does not involve sharing your password or login credentials with the agent at any point. The connection is authorized through a separate mechanism designed specifically for this kind of account linking, not by typing your password into the agent. If anything ever asks you to hand over your Pluang password directly to an AI tool, treat that as a red flag rather than a normal part of the Pluang Agentic Trading connection flow.
Q: Can I let the agent only check my portfolio and prices, without letting it place trades?
Fund withdrawal is never included in what you can grant the agent, regardless of what other permissions are active.
Q: If I allow the agent to trade, does that also let it withdraw my money?
No. Trading permission and withdrawal are not the same thing, and Pluang Agentic Trading never includes fund withdrawal or transfer in what an AI agent can do, regardless of what other permissions are active. This is a fixed boundary of the feature, not something tied to your permission settings.
Q: What if I want to stop the agent from accessing my account after connecting it?
You can revoke the agent's access at any time, and doing so immediately ends whatever permissions had been granted — there's no waiting period or approval step needed on Pluang's side. See "How do I revoke an AI agent's access to my Pluang account?" for the full revocation process and what happens to any pending activity when you do.
