THE RISK

Medium Risk

Why archive_chat needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies data reversibly. Archiving is a metadata change that can be undone by unarchiving, making it a Write operation rather than Destructive. The action has minimal blast radius in a tax/invoicing context since it only affects chat organization, not financial records or irreversible deletions.

From the tool's definition Tool description: 'Archive or unarchive a chat' — modifies the state/metadata of a chat by archiving or unarchiving it.

POLICY

How to control archive_chat

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 archive_chat:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "archive_chat": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "archive_chat_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

archive_chat 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.

Create a free account and register Mcp Afip — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
