Unauthorized Financial Action by AI Agent

Detects when an AI agent attempts to execute financial operations (payments, transfers, red packets, purchases, subscriptions) without explicit human confirmation in the current turn. Financial actions are inherently high-risk and irreversible -- an agent should NEVER auto-execute them based solely on chat context or tool availability. This rule catches the tool_call side of financial attacks: even if the prompt injection rule (ATR-2026-097) is bypassed, this rule fires when the agent actually attempts to invoke a payment/transfer tool. Covers: WeChat red packets, Alipay/WeChat Pay transfers, bank transfers, crypto transactions, subscription purchases, in-app purchases, and generic payment API calls.
