Why create_quote needs a policy

This tool locks a foreign exchange and fee quote for fiat-to-stablecoin or stablecoin-to-fiat conversions, directly involving financial operations and committing to exchange rates. While it is a quote (not a final transaction), locking a quote in a payment protocol context creates a binding financial obligation for the TTL window and is a precursor to executing financial transfers.

From the tool's definition Lock an FX + fee quote for a 5-minute TTL. Same endpoint for both on_ramp (fiat → stablecoin) and off_ramp (stablecoin → fiat). Response carries { id, expires_at, commercial_quotation, fees }.

How to control create_quote

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_quote:

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

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