It is just a permission on this single app, you don't have to buy 
anything. It will not buy anything for you on your back. In any case, 
you have to actually approve the purchase (and have a banking account 
registered with Google).

You could give the permission so that the app runs, and once finished 
with the config, remove the permission for your ease of mind.
