The source attributes the error to a parsing mistake, where the agent likely confused token decimals with raw integer values, and calls it a guardrail failure. The recipient sold into thin liquidity, walked away with roughly $37K to $40K, then reportedly put around $25K into a new token that collapsed. The source reports the original holding ended at roughly $6K.

No model name, version, developer, harness, tools, permissions, deployment context or intended use is stated. Disclosure date is not stated; the source date 2026-02-25 is only the article date, so date_disclosed is omitted. Detection method, responsible party, and adversarial actor are not stated. Direct loss is given only as ranges and approximate values, so no single figure is recorded. Recipient count is not stated beyond one random user. Reversibility is not stated. No remediation is reported. Judgements made: autonomy_level mapped 'autonomous' to full-auto; root cause mapped 'simple guardrail failure' to guardrail; the parsing mistake was linked to control C3 (tool input validation) as failed; severity set to moderate because another party's tokens were touched within a stated bounded scope (5% of supply); incident_class set to operational_error. failure_class and trigger are omitted because no listed value clearly fits the stated facts.
