Why search_transactions needs a policy

This is a query operation that retrieves financial transaction data without side effects. While the data is sensitive (transaction history), the tool only performs filtering and retrieval. The blast radius of misuse is limited to unauthorized information disclosure rather than financial harm, data destruction, or execution of arbitrary operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search transactions' and 'Returns a page of transaction nodes' with read-only fields (id, status, amount, orderId, createdAt). No mutation, creation, deletion, or modification of data is described.

How to control search_transactions

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 search_transactions:

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

search_transactions 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.
