Critical Risk

Why cancel_prepost needs a policy

Cancelling a pre-posting order in the Argentine tax authority's electronic invoicing system is likely irreversible; once a fiscal pre-posting is cancelled, it cannot be restored, qualifying this as a Destructive action. The blast radius is high because it affects tax compliance records and invoicing workflows.

From the tool's definition "Cancel a pre-posting order" — cancellation of a fiscal/tax document pre-posting is an irreversible administrative action in the AFIP electronic invoicing context

How to control cancel_prepost

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_prepost:

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

cancel_prepost 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.
