Why retrieve_event needs a policy

The low severity reflects minimal blast radius—an agent can only view event records that already exist.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'retrieve_event' and description states 'Retrieve a single event by id' with no modification or execution of external operations. The use case ('auditing a webhook delivery or replaying state') confirms passive data retrieval.

How to control retrieve_event

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 retrieve_event:

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

retrieve_event 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.
