generate_sdk_token

Mint a short-lived SDK token for embedding the Onfido Web / iOS / Android SDKs in your frontend. The token is scoped to a single applicant and is how capture flows (document photo, selfie, video) run in-browser/in-app without exposing your API token.

Why generate_sdk_token needs a policy

This tool generates a temporary, scoped authentication token for SDK usage. It doesn't read data, write persistent data, execute commands, destroy data, or move money. It creates a short-lived credential, which is closest to a Write action, but the token has no side effects beyond enabling SDK capture flows. The blast radius is low since the token is short-lived and scoped to a single applicant.

How to control generate_sdk_token

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 generate_sdk_token:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_sdk_token": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_sdk_token_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_sdk_token gets a rate cap, and 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.
