3Commas — agentic threat model
3Commas presents a high-risk agentic profile due to its direct integration with over 20 cryptocurrency exchanges and its ability to autonomously execute financial transactions. A compromise of the agent or its stored API keys could lead to immediate, irreversible financial loss for users.

Scored with the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula (AIVSS calculator reference); agentic risk factors estimated from the agent’s described capabilities.
MAESTRO 7-layer threat model
Per-layer threats for this agent. Layers tagged “not certain from listing” are general, caveated commentary where the public description didn’t pin that layer.
Not certain from the listing — The listing mentions 'AI-powered trading bots' but does not specify the underlying LLMs or foundation models used, leaving threats like model reprogramming or adversarial prompt injection unverified.
Not certain from the listing — The platform ingests market data, user portfolios, and social trading signals, but the specific data pipelines, vector stores, or RAG mechanisms are not detailed.
The agent framework orchestrates automated trading strategies (such as DCA and GRID bots) and executes trades across external exchanges. Key threats include tool misuse (unauthorized or malicious trades) and insecure tool integration leading to API key leakage.
Not certain from the listing — The platform is closed-source and integrates with 20+ exchanges, implying cloud hosting and API key storage, but specific sandboxing, secrets management, or hosting infrastructure details are not provided.
Not certain from the listing — While backtesting and portfolio management tools are provided to users, the platform's internal AI guardrails, drift detection, and real-time observability of the AI's decision-making are not detailed.
Not certain from the listing — Despite handling highly sensitive API keys for financial transactions across multiple exchanges, the listing does not specify compliance certifications (e.g., SOC2) or specific identity and authorization controls.
The platform supports 'social trading' (copying other traders/bots), which introduces ecosystem risks such as cascading failures, copying compromised or malicious strategies, and potential market manipulation via coordinated bot actions.

These scores are auto-generated from public information (the agent's own listing, docs, and repository) using the canonical OWASP AIVSS formula and the MAESTRO framework — an estimate for guidance, not a penetration test, audit, or certification.
