Complete a Sephora purchase. Fills shipping address, applies optional promo codes, enters payment details, and places the order. Set dry_run=true to test the flow without actually placing an order.
AI agents use sephora_checkout to commit financial operations through Sephora MCP Server — usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
This tool directly commits a financial transaction by placing a real purchase order on Sephora, entering payment details, and completing checkout. This clearly falls under Financial as it moves money. The dry_run flag does not reduce the severity since the default behavior is to actually place the order.
