Why create_product needs a policy

This tool creates a new product, which is a reversible write operation that modifies the AFIP invoicing system's product catalog. It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), or move money (not Financial). The blast radius is medium because erroneous product creation in a tax/invoicing system could cause billing errors, but the effect is reversible through deletion or updates.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_product' with description 'Create a new product'. The verb 'create' indicates a write operation that generates new data in the system.

How to control create_product

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_product:

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

create_product 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.
