Why delete_dict_key needs a policy

This tool irreversibly deletes a DICT (Cadastro de Pessoas Autorizadas a Operacionalizar Transações) key, which is a critical identifier in the Brazilian Payment System (SPB). Deletion cannot be undone and affects payment processing capabilities for the merchant. While not financial itself, it irreversibly destroys a critical payment infrastructure asset, making it Destructive rather than merely Write.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Delete a DICT key' and 'Irreversible' — key becomes available for re-registration after BCB lockout window. The word 'Delete' combined with 'Irreversible' directly indicates destructive action.

How to control delete_dict_key

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_dict_key:

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

delete_dict_key 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.
