Why create_card_token needs a policy

This tool processes raw payment card data (PAN) and creates a token used directly in payment flows. It is part of a financial transaction pipeline — tokenizing a card is a prerequisite step to executing payments. Misuse could enable unauthorized payment processing or card data harvesting, warranting a critical severity rating under the Financial category.

How to control create_card_token

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 create_card_token:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_card_token": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to create_card_token is blocked until a human approves it. 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.
