Critical Risk

Why pay_tribute needs a policy

This tool directly moves money from a user's account to satisfy tax obligations. It commits financial obligations and transfers funds irreversibly. The requirement for a 'debit account' and 'arrecadação contract' confirms this is a payment execution capability. Any misuse (wrong amount, wrong account, repeated submissions) would result in unauthorized financial transfers. This is the most severe risk category.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Pay a federal tribute (DARF, GPS, GRU)' and 'debit account', indicating movement of money. DARF, GPS, and GRU are Brazilian/Argentine tax payment instruments that transfer funds.

How to control pay_tribute

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 pay_tribute:

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

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

  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.
