Why cancel_nfse needs a policy

Canceling an authorized NFSe (electronic service invoice) in Argentina's AFIP system is a destructive action—it permanently voids a tax document that has been officially issued and accepted. This cannot be undone through normal means and directly impacts financial records, tax compliance, and accounting systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_nfse' explicitly uses 'cancel'; description states 'Cancel an authorized NFSe' (Nota Fiscal de Servicio Eletrônica). Cancellation of electronic invoices is an irreversible operation that voids financial/tax documents.

How to control cancel_nfse

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_nfse:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "cancel_nfse"
  ]
}

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

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