Why verify_payment_method needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation against a payment processor (zero-auth or $1 authorization). While it doesn't move money in a meaningful way, it executes a live transaction request against a payment network, which can have side effects (temporary holds, velocity checks, card flags).

How to control verify_payment_method

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_payment_method:

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

verify_payment_method 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.
