Why find_cep needs a policy

This is a straightforward lookup/search operation with no side effects. It retrieves existing address data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The tool has minimal blast radius—incorrect address lookups would not cause financial loss, data destruction, or execution of unwanted operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'find_cep' and description 'Look up address by CEP via Correios' indicate a data retrieval operation. CEP is the Brazilian postal code system, and Correios is the Brazilian postal service.

How to control find_cep

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 find_cep:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "find_cep": {}
  }
}

find_cep is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
