Overview

For an overview of the Circle CLI's full capability set, see the use-circle-cli master skill. This skill is the narrower spending-policy flow.

Circle agent wallets support spending policies — per-wallet caps that the CLI enforces on every payment and transfer. There are three operations:

Operation	Command	OTP required?
View current limits	`circle wallet limit --address <addr> --chain BASE --output json`	No
Set custom limits	`circle wallet limit set ...`	Yes — human OTP, run in user's own terminal
Reset to defaults	`circle wallet limit reset ...`	Yes — human OTP, run in user's own terminal

Spending policies are mainnet-only. Testnet chains return an error if you try to set a policy.
