Why stripe_customers is rated Medium
Creating Stripe customers is a reversible Write operation that establishes new financial entities in the Stripe system. While not directly moving money (which would be Financial), it creates customer records that are prerequisites for financial transactions. An AI agent misusing this could create fraudulent customer accounts or spam the system, justifying high severity.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'List or create Stripe customers.' The create operation modifies Stripe's customer database, making this a Write action. Listing is Read, but the tool's primary documented capability includes creation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs stripe_customers safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For stripe_customers, this is the rule to start with:
stripe_customers stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect UnClick, apply this rule, and every stripe_customers call is checked against it from then on.
