Why list_empresas needs a policy

This tool queries and returns information about registered companies. It does not create, modify, delete, or execute any actions; it only retrieves existing data from the account. This is a standard read operation with minimal risk of misuse, as listing account entities does not expose financial transactions or enable destructive actions on its own.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_empresas' and description 'List all companies (empresas) registered in the account' — uses the verb 'list' which is a read operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

How to control list_empresas

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_empresas:

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

list_empresas 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.
