Why partial_refund needs a policy

This tool directly commits a financial obligation by returning funds. Even though it is partial rather than full, any refund operation transfers monetary value and cannot be trivially reversed without a separate compensating action. The AFIP context (Argentine tax authority) indicates real financial transactions subject to regulatory oversight.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'partial_refund' and description states 'Refund a portion of a charge' — explicitly moves money back to a customer or account.

How to control partial_refund

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 partial_refund:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "partial_refund": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to partial_refund is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
