Braintree's GraphQL API performs real, irreversible financial side effects: charging payment methods, moving funds, vaulting/tokenizing payment instruments with PCI-scope compliance handling. No amount of inference can simulate charging a card or settling money; the agent cannot approximate this at all. The documentation is thin but clearly describes transaction creation and payment method vaulting, not storage of arbitrary data.
