# Action Risk Listing

This report offers a snapshot of actions that have been attributed by ‘high-risk’ clicks, if you've selected either *moderate* or *relaxed* [High Risk Traffic Filter settings](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/protect-and-monitor-your-performance-program/event-risk/filter-high-risk-traffic.md). The report gives you the opportunity to review high-risk actions before paying out to partners.

* *Lead* events have a higher risk of being invalid, especially if there is no user validation requirement or payment involved, because this allows them to be faked more easily. A small chance of false positives is always possible with risk detection, so it is advisable to cross-check these actions against their own risk data.
* *Sale* events are also at higher risk, even though they are harder to fake. The signals might indicate that the user is intentionally obscuring their identity, which could correlate with credit card fraud if a bad actor is using stolen information, or it could indicate a higher likelihood of a bad actor purchasing in order to resell at a higher value to take advantage of payouts.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/protect-and-monitor-your-performance-program/event-risk/action-risk-listing.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.
