Why validate_document needs a policy

This tool queries identity and tax registration data from Receita Federal (the Brazilian tax authority; note the server is labeled AFIP but references Brazilian CPF/CNPJ identifiers). It retrieves personally identifiable information (name, birth date) and regulatory status.

From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'validate' and 'Returns registration status...and...holder name and birth date'—a retrieval of KYC (Know Your Customer) data with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.

How to control validate_document

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_document:

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

validate_document 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.
