Cancel a customer subscription
Ends recurring revenue permanently
Part of the Stripe MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents may call cancel_subscription to permanently remove or destroy resources in Stripe. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could delete critical data in a loop with no way to undo the damage. Intercept blocks destructive tools by default and requires explicit human approval before enabling them.
