Why delete_product needs a policy

This tool permanently removes product records, which cannot be undone. In an AFIP (Argentine tax authority) context dealing with electronic invoicing and commerce operations, deleting a product is a destructive action that eliminates data irreversibly. The high severity reflects the blast radius: an agent could remove critical product inventory records, disrupting business operations and tax records.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'delete_product' with description 'Delete a product by ID'. The verb 'delete' indicates irreversible removal of data.

How to control delete_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 delete_product:

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

delete_product 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.
