What send_invoice does on Mcp Afip

AI agents invoke send_invoice to trigger actions in Mcp Afip. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why send_invoice needs a policy

Sending an email is an external operation with real-world side effects (recipients receive official tax invoices). It is not purely a write to a database but triggers an external communication action. Since it involves official Argentine tax authority invoicing, misuse could cause legal/financial confusion, though it doesn't directly move money.

From the tool's definition 'Email an invoice to one or more recipients' — triggers an external email operation sending official AFIP electronic invoices

How to control send_invoice

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 send_invoice:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "send_invoice": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "send_invoice_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

send_invoice stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. 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.
