Duplicate an existing invoice with a new due date. Endpoint: POST /invoices/:id/duplicate
AI agents use duplicate_invoice 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.
This tool creates a new invoice by duplicating an existing one — a reversible write operation. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or directly move money. The new invoice is a separate document that can be voided or deleted later. Severity is medium because invoices in a payment protocol context could be sent to customers and trigger payment flows if misused.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access duplicate_invoice gives an agent:
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 duplicate_invoice:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"duplicate_invoice": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "duplicate_invoice_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}duplicate_invoice 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.

Duplicate an existing invoice with a new due date. Endpoint: POST /invoices/:id/duplicate. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for duplicate_invoice: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
duplicate_invoice is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the duplicate_invoice rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for duplicate_invoice. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
duplicate_invoice is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
