What track_auth does on Mcp Ap2

AI agents use track_auth to create or update resources in Mcp Ap2 — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Mcp Ap2 environment.

Medium Risk

Why track_auth needs a policy

The tool writes/posts authentication event data to an external system (Legiti) for fraud analysis. It does not read data, execute code, destroy data, or move money. It is a telemetry/notification write operation. Severity is medium because misuse could flood the fraud system with false signals or suppress legitimate fraud alerts, but it does not directly cause financial or destructive harm.

From the tool's definition 'Notify Legiti of an authentication or password event (login attempt, logout, password recovery request, password reset)' — sends event data to an external fraud-detection service

How to control track_auth

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 track_auth:

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

track_auth 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.
