What add_contact does on Mcp Afip

AI agents use add_contact to create or update resources in Mcp Afip — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Afip environment.

Why add_contact needs a policy

This tool creates or updates contact records in a marketing system, which is a reversible data modification operation. It falls under Write rather than Read (it modifies data) or Destructive (the changes can be undone by updating or removing contacts).

From the tool's definition 'Upsert contacts' and 'PUT /marketing/contacts' indicate creation or modification of contact data. The tool modifies marketing campaign contact records reversibly.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access add_contact gives an agent:

How to control add_contact

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Afip, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for add_contact:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_contact": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_contact_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

add_contact 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.
