THE RISK

Why cancel_cte needs a policy

Canceling an authorized electronic transport document is a destructive action because it permanently invalidates a financial/legal record that has already been issued and authorized by the tax authority. This cannot be reversed without creating a new document and is more severe than a simple write operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_cte' with description 'Cancel an authorized CTe'. CTe (Conocimiento de Transporte Electrónico) is an electronic transport document in the Argentine AFIP system.

POLICY

How to control cancel_cte

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 cancel_cte:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cancel_cte"
  ]
}

cancel_cte disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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.
