What stripe_list_charges does on ScopeGate

Why stripe_list_charges is rated Low
This tool retrieves financial transaction data (Stripe charges) but does not move money, create charges, modify records, or execute transactions. While the data retrieved is financial in nature and sensitive, the action itself is read-only. Severity is medium because exposure of charge history could reveal business or customer financial patterns, but no direct financial harm occurs from the read operation itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'stripe_list_charges' and description 'List Stripe charges' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'list' is a read operation that queries existing charge records.
