Why get_cep needs a policy

This is a simple address lookup utility that queries a postal code database and returns corresponding address data. It has no side effects, cannot modify data, execute code, delete records, or commit financial transactions. The blast radius of misuse is minimal — an agent could retrieve addresses for any postal code, but this is low-sensitivity public information already tied to postal codes. Classified as Read.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_cep' and description 'Look up address by CEP (Brazilian postal code)' indicate a lookup/query operation that retrieves address information without modifying or executing anything.

How to control get_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 get_cep:

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

get_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.
