Why send_ted needs a policy

This tool initiates a bank-to-bank wire transfer (TED), which moves money to an external account. This is a direct financial transaction that commits real funds, making it the most severe category. Misuse could result in irreversible financial loss since wire transfers, once settled, are extremely difficult to reverse.

How to control send_ted

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_ted:

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

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

  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.
