Why create_nfe needs a policy

This tool writes a new electronic invoice into the tax authority system. While 'emitting' an invoice is technically a write operation (creating a new record), the severity is elevated to 'high' because: (1) it creates formal tax documents with legal and financial implications; (2) the emission into the AFIP system has downstream effects on tax reporting and compliance; (3) misuse by an AI agent could result in…

From the tool's definition create_nfe creates and emits an NFe (nota fiscal eletronica), which is an electronic invoice document in the Argentine tax system. 'Create and emit' indicates irreversible generation of a formal financial/tax document.

How to control create_nfe

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_nfe:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_nfe": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_nfe_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_nfe stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. 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.
