Perplexity

Claude Code controls gateway actions

Use `capture_payment` or `void_payment` from your terminal to manage transaction limits. Claude Code parses the output and allows you to pipe it into other shell commands. This works for CI/CD pipelines where you need to verify charges before moving to the next build step. It keeps your terminal workflow intact.

Manage instruments via Claude Code

The agent uses `create_instrument` and `delete_instrument` to maintain your vault state. It generates the required JSON payloads and validates the response from the gateway. You can run these as part of a batch process. Claude Code handles the logic and reports the success or failure of each binding.

Automate refunds in Claude Code

Trigger `refund_payment` for specific transactions identified by your scripts. Claude Code validates the state using `get_payment_details` before sending the command. This allows for programmatic handling of customer disputes. You stay in the terminal while the agent handles the API interaction.
