Why void_authorization needs a policy

This tool cancels a financial authorization, releasing previously held funds. It directly affects payment/financial operations by voiding an authorization, which is an irreversible financial action that cannot be undone once processed. This falls squarely in the Financial category as it manipulates payment authorizations.

From the tool's definition Void (release) an unsettled authorization via POST /v2/payments/authorizations/{id}/void. Use when funds were authorized but will not be captured.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access void_authorization gives an agent:

How to control void_authorization

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 void_authorization:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "void_authorization": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Any call to void_authorization is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

  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.
