What check_watchlists does on Mcp Afip

AI agents call check_watchlists to retrieve information from Mcp Afip without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why check_watchlists needs a policy

This tool performs a compliance lookup operation similar to a database query. It accepts input (cpf or name) and returns structured results (hits, list names, dates, risk levels) without side effects. While compliance screening can inform financial decisions, the tool itself does not move money, execute code, or modify data.

From the tool's definition check_watchlists is a screening/querying tool that 'returns hits with list name, entry date, and risk level' — it retrieves and checks data against sanctions and adverse-media databases without modifying, executing, or destroying anything.

How to control check_watchlists

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 check_watchlists:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "check_watchlists": {}
  }
}

check_watchlists is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  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.
