What can an AI agent do with
Connect with Stripe (read_write)?
This connects your Stripe account to the company's platform. The platform can then use Stripe in your account on your behalf, for example to accept payments, set up recurring billing, and read account data. Records it creates show up in your account.
How to spot it
On a Stripe connection or settings screen, this is read_write.
With it, an agent can
- Make requests in your account using the platform's own key
- Create payments in your account
- Set up recurring billing
- Check your account balance
- Create records like charges, customers, and invoices that appear in your account
It cannot, on its own
- Once disconnected, the platform cannot reach your account through the Dashboard or the API
What a bad day looks like
If the platform is misused, it could create payments or records in your account that you never asked for.
Set it up safer
- Ask whether a restricted key with only the needed permissions would work instead
- Disconnect the platform from your Stripe account as soon as you stop using it
Ask the company selling the agent
- What will you do in my account after I connect?
- Can you work with a restricted key instead?
- What happens to records you created if I disconnect?
