Why retrieve_checkout needs a policy

This tool queries and returns checkout information based on an identifier. While it operates within a financial payment system (AP2), the tool itself only reads/retrieves existing data without executing transactions, modifying state, or committing financial obligations. The retrieval of checkout details is a standard Read operation with minimal risk if accessed by an unauthorized agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'retrieve_checkout' and description 'Retrieve a checkout by id' indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution of payment operations.

How to control retrieve_checkout

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 retrieve_checkout:

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

retrieve_checkout 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.
