Why refund_pix needs a policy

This tool directly moves money by processing refunds on the PIX payment system. Any misuse by an AI agent could result in unauthorized refunds, financial loss, and fraud. This is a core financial operation that meets the Financial category definition of 'moves money or commits financial obligations.' It is the most severe category applicable.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'refund_pix' combined with description 'Refund (devolução) a previously received Pix' explicitly indicates movement of money back to a customer. PIX is Brazil's instant payment system, and refunding it commits a financial obligation to return funds.

How to control refund_pix

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 refund_pix:

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

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