Why register_dict_key needs a policy

This tool creates or modifies account configuration by registering a DICT (likely a payment identifier system) key, which is reversible (keys can be deactivated or removed). It does not move money, execute arbitrary code, or destroy data.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Register a DICT key on a BB account owned by the merchant' — register is a write operation that creates/adds a new DICT key entry to a merchant's account.

How to control register_dict_key

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 register_dict_key:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "register_dict_key": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "register_dict_key_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

register_dict_key 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.

  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.
