THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why cancel_sale needs a policy

Canceling a sale is a destructive action that permanently removes or voids a transaction record, which cannot be easily undone without manual intervention. This is more severe than a Write operation (which is reversible) because sales cancellation typically triggers cascading effects in accounting systems (reversing invoices, tax records, inventory adjustments).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'cancel_sale' and description 'Cancel a sale in Conta Azul' indicate irreversible deletion or reversal of a financial transaction record. Cancellation of sales is typically an irreversible operation that removes or voids a transaction.

POLICY

How to control cancel_sale

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_sale:

policy.json

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

cancel_sale 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.
