What create_connect_token does on Mcp Ap2

AI agents use create_connect_token to create or update resources in Mcp Ap2 — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ap2 environment.

Why create_connect_token needs a policy

Creating authentication tokens is a write operation that generates new data (the connect token). While this enables access to payment functionality via the Pluggy Connect widget, the tool itself only generates the token credential—it does not directly move money (Financial) or delete data (Destructive).

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'create' and description states 'Mint a connect token', indicating creation of a new token artifact. No data deletion or financial transaction occurs, but the token creation has security implications as it enables embedding a payment widget.

How to control create_connect_token

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Ap2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_connect_token:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_connect_token": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_connect_token_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_connect_token stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — 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.
