## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "create_price",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why create_price is rated Medium

This tool creates a new pricing record, which is a write operation. While pricing changes can affect billing downstream, the action itself is reversible (prices can be deleted or superseded). The sibling tools include financial operations (create_refund, create_invoice) which are more severe, so this is classified as Write rather than Financial.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'create_price' and description states 'Create a new price for a product'. The verb 'create' indicates reversible creation of data (pricing information)."

Risk signals: Sets pricing that affects charges

## Use case

AI agents use create_price to create or update resources in Stripe, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stripe environment.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Stripe:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_price": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_price_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
