THE RISK

Low Risk

Why list_invoice_types needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation—it queries and returns information about invoice type options available in the AFIP system. There are no side effects, no data modification, no financial transactions, and no execution of external commands. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose non-sensitive metadata about invoice categories, not actual financial records or enable unauthorized transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_invoice_types' and description 'List available invoice types' indicate a query operation that retrieves and displays metadata about invoice classifications without modifying, executing code, or affecting financial data.

POLICY

How to control list_invoice_types

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_invoice_types:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_invoice_types": {}
  }
}

list_invoice_types is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mcp Afip — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
