Best for
- Querying invoices, orders, subscriptions, disputes, and shipment information
- Sandbox prototyping of merchant workflows
- Teams able to issue, scope, rotate, and monitor PayPal credentials
Not ideal for
- Unattended production payment, refund, or invoice decisions
- Users without PayPal developer credential management
- Assistants that only need public PayPal documentation
Avoid if
- Production financial actions would execute without explicit confirmation
- Access tokens must be embedded in committed configuration
- Merchant-account activity cannot be monitored and credentials cannot be revoked quickly
Trade-offs
- The local npm server is portable and publisher documented, but executes package code on the user's machine.
- The documented `--tools=all` setup is convenient but exposes a broad commerce surface; narrower tool selection is safer where supported.
- Sandbox reduces financial impact but does not replace production authorization and operational controls.
