Why verify_account needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only verification check on card details. AVS (Address Verification System) and CVC (Card Verification Code) verification are non-destructive lookups that confirm card validity without side effects. Although it touches financial data (credit cards), it does not move money, create obligations, or modify state — it simply retrieves and returns a verification outcome.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Run[s] an AVS/CVC account verification on a card without charging it' and 'Returns the verification outcome.' The key phrase is 'without charging it' — no financial transaction occurs, no data is modified or deleted, and no code…

How to control verify_account

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 verify_account:

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

verify_account 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.
