What archive_invoice does on Businys
AI agents call archive_invoice to permanently remove resources in Businys, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why archive_invoice is rated Critical
Although the description clarifies this is a soft-delete (data is not permanently removed), archiving an invoice hides it from normal views and reverses the active status of a financial document. The action is described as irreversible in normal workflow terms (no mention of an undo/restore mechanism), and the sibling tool 'archive_contract' follows the same pattern.
From the tool's definition "Soft-delete (archive) an invoice. The invoice is hidden but not permanently deleted."
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs archive_invoice safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Businys, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For archive_invoice, this is the rule to start with:
archive_invoice is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Businys, apply this rule, and every archive_invoice call is checked against it from then on.
