Why list_bills needs a policy

This tool retrieves or queries bill data from what appears to be a QuickBooks Online (QBO) integration with the AFIP tax authority system. It performs no data modification, deletion, or execution of external operations—only data retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized access to billing information, making it a Read category with low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_bills' and description 'Query bills using QBO' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'Query' explicitly denotes a read operation.

How to control list_bills

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 list_bills:

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

list_bills 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.
