WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use list_payment_intents to initiate financial transactions through Stripe. Financial operations involve real money and are irreversible once processed. Intercept blocks financial tools by default, requiring explicit human approval with transaction-level limits to prevent unauthorised spending.

WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON LIST_PAYMENT_INTENTS

list_payment_intents moves real money. Without a policy, an autonomous agent could initiate transactions that drain accounts or exceed budgets. Intercept blocks financial tools by default, requiring human-in-the-loop approval with configurable spending limits per transaction and per time window.
