WHAT IT DOES

What create_product does on Stripe

AI agents use create_product 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.

RISK

Why create_product is rated Medium

This tool creates a new product record in Stripe, which is a reversible write operation. While it operates within a financial platform, it does not directly move money or charge customers—those are handled by sibling tools like create_payment_link, create_invoice, and create_refund. The impact is limited to adding metadata/catalog entries.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_product' and description 'Create a new product' indicate a creation operation that modifies data in a financial system (Stripe).

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_product safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stripe, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_product, this is the rule to start with:

create_product Rate-limited

create_product stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
