THE RISK

Low Risk

Why get_tariffs needs a policy

This tool retrieves pricing/tariff information from a schedule—a purely informational operation with no capacity to modify, delete, execute code, or commit financial transactions. Despite the financial context of AP2 (payment protocol), the tool itself only queries existing data structures.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_tariffs' and description 'Query the tariff schedule applicable to the merchant' indicate a read-only data retrieval operation. The use of 'Query' and 'get' pattern confirms retrieval without side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_tariffs

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_tariffs:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_tariffs": {}
  }
}

get_tariffs is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Mcp Ap2 — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
