Within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory framework, we set indirect constraints on top quark operators that violate baryon number by one unit above the TeV scale. We find that these constraints are typically many orders of magnitude more stringent than the recently derived direct bounds from collider experiments. Therefore, direct observation of baryon number violation in these top-quark observables at the TeV scale would imply a large fine-tuning among operators across different energy scales. This possibility is not protected under universal radiative corrections or any known symmetry principles.
