4. Execute withdrawal (requires human approval):

   kraken withdraw BTC "my-btc-address" 0.5 -o json 2>/dev/null

Fee-Aware Withdrawal Pattern

Always check fees before withdrawing. Compare the fee to the withdrawal amount:

INFO=$(kraken withdrawal info BTC "my-btc-address" 0.5 -o json 2>/dev/null)
# Parse .fee and .limit from the response
# Present fee to user before proceeding

Hard Rules

• Withdrawals are flagged as dangerous. Never execute without explicit human approval.
• Always verify the withdrawal address matches a pre-approved address in account settings.
• Use --verified true when listing addresses to confirm approval status.
• Check fees before every withdrawal; network fees fluctuate.
• Cancel pending withdrawals promptly if the user changes their mind: the window is short.
