The rule that runs brc_create_sales_invoice 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_sales_invoice, this is the rule to start with:
brc_create_sales_invoice 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_sales_invoice call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about brc_create_sales_invoice
Creates a BRC sales invoice using structured MCP fields. Requires a reference when the company is configured for manual sales references; otherwise prefer brc_create_sales_invoice_gen_ref. Previews before posting include a Missing or not provided section for blank customer phone or email only — warnings only, do not invent values. Nothing is written to Big Red Cloud until you confirm. Optional. BRC "Note" field on the sales document (JSON field note). Leave blank to default it to the customer name (BRC customer "Name" / JSON name). Do not use the product name as the note. Only set this when the user explicitly provides a note. Optional. BRC "Delivery To" address (JSON field deliveryTo). Leave blank unless the user explicitly provides a delivery address. Do not invent or default a delivery address (for example "MCP Test"). Requires saleRepId and saleRepCode. Do not use default or demo sales rep values. If missing, list sales reps or ask the user to choose one before creating. Requires analysisCategoryId and accountCode from a Sales Analysis category on each product line. Do not default to CR01/Customer or the first listed category. Set confirmCrAnalysisCategory=true only after the user confirms a CR account code is intentional. When Gross Price Entry is enabled for sales invoicing, this tool requires priceBasis. Use priceBasis "gross" when unit prices are VAT-inclusive/gross, or priceBasis "net" when unit prices are VAT-exclusive/net. Do not tell the user to disable Gross Price Entry if they have provided priceBasis. Do not invent productId values and do not use productId 0 or 1 as placeholders. productId 0 and 1 are treated as placeholders and are blocked at runtime before preview-before-posting and before posting. If a product line is needed, first call brc_list_products and use a real product from the connected company. If no suitable product exists, ask the user whether to create/select a product, or use a service/non-product line only if the endpoint supports it. Sales invoices must use Sales VAT rates. Purchase/non-Sales VAT rates are blocked before preview-before-posting and before posting, even if the VAT percentage matches. 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.
