Why get_prepost needs a policy

This tool retrieves pre-posting order information by ID, which is a read-only operation with no side effects. However, given the financial payment protocol context (AP2 — Google's Agent-to-Agent Payment Protocol), accessing order or payment-related data has medium severity due to potential exposure of sensitive financial information, even though no actual financial transaction occurs.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_prepost' with description 'Get a pre-posting order by ID' indicates a retrieval operation that queries order data without modification.

How to control get_prepost

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_prepost:

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

get_prepost 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.
