The rule that runs brc_create_purchase safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Red by Big Red Cloud, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For brc_create_purchase, this is the rule to start with:
brc_create_purchase stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Red by Big Red Cloud, apply this rule, and every brc_create_purchase call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about brc_create_purchase
Creates a BRC purchase using structured MCP fields. Requires a reference when the company is configured for manual purchase references; otherwise prefer brc_create_purchase_gen_ref. Requires routeToken from brc_route_request for the matching action workflow. Call brc_route_request first with the user's complete original action request. Retain the returned routeToken through lookup, preview, and confirmation, and pass the same token on the final permitted transactional tool call. Never invent a placeholder token. A routeToken is not permission to post — preview-before-posting and confirmWrite/confirmDelete still apply. Also requires confirmCounterpartyExplicit: true once the user has explicitly named or confirmed the customer/supplier in the current conversation. Do not reuse a counterparty from an earlier preview without that confirmation. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Red by Big Red Cloud MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
