Why defend_dispute needs a policy

This tool submits a defense response to an existing dispute, which is a Write action (creating/modifying a legal record). It has high severity because misuse could result in incorrect or fraudulent dispute defenses being filed with AFIP, with potentially serious legal and financial consequences. It does not directly move money but it influences financial dispute resolution outcomes.

From the tool's definition 'Defend a dispute using one of the applicable defense reason codes' — submits a formal legal/financial defense response to a dispute

How to control defend_dispute

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 defend_dispute:

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

defend_dispute 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.
