## Why list_transactions is rated Low

This tool queries transaction history and retrieves financial data without modifying, deleting, or executing transactions. Although it exposes sensitive financial information (transaction records) in the context of a payment platform, the action itself is read-only.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool description states 'List recent transactions across your cards' — a retrieval operation with no side effects."

## Use case

AI agents call list_transactions to retrieve information from Agentpay without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Agentpay:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_transactions": {}
  }
}
```
