Why delete_applicant needs a policy

Although this is a soft-delete with a 30-day recovery window, it is categorized as Destructive because: (1) the tool performs deletion of records, (2) after 30 days the deletion becomes permanent and cannot be undone, and (3) the primary effect is removal of data. The reversibility window does not change the fundamental destructive nature of the operation.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete'; description states 'Soft-delete an applicant' with permanent deletion after 30 days, making the action irreversible after the retention window expires.

How to control delete_applicant

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 delete_applicant:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_applicant"
  ]
}

delete_applicant disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  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.
