Critical Risk

Why create_cte needs a policy

Creating and emitting an electronic transport document (CTe) on an official tax authority system (AFIP) constitutes a legally binding financial/fiscal document that commits financial obligations and tax records. This is an irreversible official fiscal emission that cannot simply be undone, and it carries legal and financial consequences similar to issuing an invoice.

How to control create_cte

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_cte:

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

Any call to create_cte 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.
