Why validate_cpf needs a policy

This tool queries an external Brazilian tax authority database (Receita Federal) to validate CPF information and retrieve status/personal data. While it reads sensitive PII (name, status, birthdate verification), it does not modify, delete, execute commands, or initiate financial transactions. The read-only nature and status-checking function place it in the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool 'validate_cpf' performs validation and returns status information from Receita Federal registry. No modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code. Description states 'Returns { valid, status... name, situation }' indicating data retrieval only.

How to control validate_cpf

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 validate_cpf:

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

validate_cpf 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.
