Why get_invoice needs a policy

This tool retrieves invoice information without altering, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward data retrieval operation that returns existing invoice details based on query parameters. While the server handles financial operations (AP2 is a payment protocol), this specific tool only reads invoice data and poses minimal risk if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_invoice' with description 'Get invoice details by type, point of sale, and number' — the verb 'Get' and action 'retrieve details' indicate a read-only query with no data modification or side effects.

How to control get_invoice

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 get_invoice:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_invoice": {}
  }
}

get_invoice is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
