Why update_checkout needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies financial checkout configurations reversibly. While it affects pricing and transaction settings (financial context), it does not move money itself, charge customers, or create irreversible records. The ability to change prices and product details represents a Write operation on financial data structures.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Update[s] an existing reusable checkout" and allows changing "the price" and other fields—modifying financial transaction configuration data.

How to control update_checkout

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 update_checkout:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_checkout": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_checkout_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_checkout stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes 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.
