What create_zero_auth does on Mcp Afip

AI agents invoke create_zero_auth to trigger actions in Mcp Afip. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why create_zero_auth needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation against a payment acquirer network (a $0 authorization request). It does not move money or commit financial obligations (no funds committed), but it does execute a real transaction attempt on the card network with external side effects.

From the tool's definition Zero-dollar authorization / card validation (POST /zeroauth). Braspag routes a $0 (or minimum-amount) authorization through the acquirer to confirm the card is live and not blocked, without committing funds.

How to control create_zero_auth

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_zero_auth:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_zero_auth": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_zero_auth_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_zero_auth stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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.
