While it accesses financial transaction data within a payment protocol server, the tool itself only reads/queries that data for reconciliation purposes, placing it squarely in the Read category at low severity.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_merchant_orders' and description 'Search merchant orders with filters' indicate a query operation. The phrase 'Useful for reconciliation' suggests read-only analysis of historical payment data without modification capability.

How to control search_merchant_orders

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 search_merchant_orders:

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

search_merchant_orders 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.
