Why send_invoice_email needs a policy

This tool sends an email containing an issued invoice to a recipient. It is a Write/communication action that creates an outbound message and delivers a financial document, but does not itself move money or commit financial obligations. The invoice is already issued; this just emails it. Misuse could result in invoices being sent to wrong recipients or spamming, hence medium severity.

From the tool's definition 'Email an issued invoice to a recipient' — sends a communication artifact (email) to an external party

How to control send_invoice_email

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 send_invoice_email:

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

send_invoice_email 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.
