npm test, yet explicitly notes that no tests are implemented. Either provide at least a smoke test or postpone the command to avoid confusion.

Avoid publishing private/internal connection strings
The sample MONGODB_URI exposes a private IP (172.31.5.177). Checking-in real hostnames / IPs can leak internal topology and invite misuse. Prefer a placeholder or localhost example.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In README.md around lines 50 to 52, the MONGODB_URI environment variable
contains a private IP address which should not be exposed publicly. Replace the
private IP with a generic placeholder such as localhost or a clearly marked
example URI to avoid leaking internal network details.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Use POST (not GET) for state-changing “create transaction” endpoint
Creating a financial transaction mutates state; a GET request should be idempotent and side-effect-free. Consider changing the example (and the actual route) to POST /transactions to align with REST semantics.
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In README.md around lines 70 to 78, the example uses a GET request to create a
transaction, which is incorrect as GET should be side-effect-free. Change the
example to use a POST request to the /transactions endpoint instead, updating
the curl command and description accordingly to reflect proper RESTful design
for state-changing operations.
