I built a honeypot to catch AI agents spending money with no human watching

People are handing autonomous agents budgets and telling them to "go." I wanted real data on how many actually spend with zero oversight, so I built a tripwire.

It offers a "Certificate of Unsupervised Spend." If an agent completes it with no human reviewing the charge, the card's owner gets alerted their agent is spending unsupervised. Fully disclosed on the page — a supervised human just closes the tab; only unattended agents proceed.

Early hits are already datacenter IPs wearing consumer browser user-agents.

Interested in where people think the ethics line sits.
