Why retrieve_screening_result needs a policy

This tool retrieves anti-money laundering (AML) and watchlist screening results for compliance purposes. It reads pre-computed screening data (sanctions, politically exposed persons, adverse media) without modifying any state. While high-sensitivity financial compliance data is accessed, the action itself is a pure retrieval with no side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool description uses 'Retrieve' and lists outputs as 'screening output', 'sanctions hits', 'PEP hits', 'adverse-media hits' — all read-only data retrieval with no modification, creation, or deletion of records.

How to control retrieve_screening_result

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_screening_result:

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

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

  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
