List normalized payment records with optional filtering and pagination.
AI agents call list_payments 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.
This is a read-only query tool that retrieves existing payment records. It has no side effects on Stripe state. Severity is medium rather than low because payment data is sensitive financial information—an AI agent could misuse it to exfiltrate transaction details, customer payment methods, or PII if the results are not properly redacted or access controls are weak.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_payments' and description 'List normalized payment records with optional filtering and pagination' indicate a query operation.
