# What Prophet cannot do

*The hard limits, including the ones we would remove if we could.*

Some limits are deliberate design choices and some are consequences of building on a blockchain. Either way, no support conversation will change them, so they are listed plainly here.

**Move funds from your Safe without your signature**

By design. Your Safe is owned by your key, and Prophet has no privileged access to it.

**Recover a lost Privy account**

Recovery for email and Google sign in runs through Privy, which holds the key. Prophet cannot restore access to an account whose key it does not hold.

**Reverse a confirmed trade, transfer or withdrawal**

On chain actions are final. This applies to withdrawals sent to a wrong address as much as to trades you regret.

**Speed up payout finalisation**

The twelve hour cooldown between resolution and claimable payouts is enforced by the resolution contract on Polygon. It is not a setting on Prophet's servers and cannot be overridden.

**Guarantee a market resolves faster than the source allows**

If the authoritative source has not published, the ensemble has nothing to reason over. The three hour buffer and retry loop exist precisely because reality is sometimes slow to be confirmed.

**Why publish this list**

A platform that cannot reach into your wallet also cannot rescue you from your own mistakes. Those two properties are the same property. Knowing exactly where the line sits is more useful than being reassured.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prophetmarket.ai/what-prophet-cannot-do.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
