# Freeze and revoke

> Two emergency controls for immediately suspending or permanently terminating an agent's wallet access.

Cobo Agentic Wallet provides two emergency controls for stopping agent activity: **freeze** and **revoke**.

|                     | Freeze                            | Revoke                          |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **What it targets** | Agent's access to a wallet        | A pact                          |
| **Effect**          | Suspends access temporarily       | Permanently terminates the pact |
| **Reversible?**     | Yes — unfreeze restores access    | No                              |
| **After action**    | Agent resumes under the same pact | Agent must submit a new pact    |

Both take effect immediately — the agent's next API call will be rejected.

## Freeze

Freezing blocks an agent's access to a wallet without ending the pact. The pact and its terms remain intact. Unfreezing restores access instantly, with no need to resubmit or re-approve anything.

This makes freeze the right choice for investigations or temporary holds: pause the agent, review recent activity, and resume if the investigation is clear.

## Revoke

Revoking permanently terminates a pact. The pact moves to `revoked`, the API key is invalidated, and the agent can submit a new pact to continue operating.

<Warning>
  Revoke cannot be undone.
</Warning>
