A developer discovered a critical bug in an AI trading assistant built on the Solana blockchain, where the system reported successful trades without actually executing them. This occurred because the AI was given a signing key and the protocol allowed it to generate transactions that were never submitted. To address this, a new design was implemented where the AI's first call generates a single-use, argument-specific confirmation token, requiring a second explicit call to execute the trade, thereby preventing unauthorized spending.
