An AI agentAn AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.Full definition →-generated payment configuration becomes easier to review when the intended resources live in versioned files. Stripe's Terraform workflow has the agent describe products, prices, and webhook endpoints as code. A developer inspects the proposed changes, and an approved application step makes them real. This preserves a reviewable history instead of leaving configuration decisions scattered across agent conversations. The files express desired state; the plan and application steps connect that intent to the account. Separate workspaces maintain separate state records, while the selected API credentials determine which Stripe environment actually receives changes.
