Why create_prepost needs a policy

This tool creates a new pre-posting order, which is a reversible write operation that establishes a shipping record in the AFIP system. While it modifies data, it does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or move money—making it Write rather than a higher category.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_prepost' and description 'Create a pre-posting order for shipping' indicate creation of a new shipping order record. The verb 'create' explicitly signals data modification.

How to control create_prepost

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_prepost:

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

create_prepost 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.
