What list_customers does on Stripe Reporting

AI agents call list_customers to retrieve information from Stripe Reporting without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why list_customers needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries customer data with no side effects or mutations. It fits the Read category definition: 'retrieves or queries data; no side effects (search, list, get, fetch)'. The read-only nature of the server and the nature of customer data retrieval (no financial transactions, no deletions, no code execution) make this a low-severity Read operation.

From the tool's definition Server description explicitly states 'Read-only Stripe finance, ops, and risk reporting' and 'without mutating Stripe state'.
