Update the tracking number, tracking company, or tracking URL on an existing fulfillment (post-ship tracking correction or late-binding tracking attach).
AI agents use update_fulfillment_tracking 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.
The tool modifies fulfillment tracking data (tracking number, carrier, URL) on existing shipments. This is a Write operation because it creates or modifies data reversibly without permanently deleting or destroying information. While the AP2 context involves payments/financial systems, this specific tool only updates tracking metadata, not financial transactions themselves.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Update[s] the tracking number, tracking company, or tracking URL on an existing fulfillment' — this modifies existing fulfillment records, which is a reversible data modification operation.

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 update_fulfillment_tracking:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"update_fulfillment_tracking": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "update_fulfillment_tracking_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}update_fulfillment_tracking 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.

Update the tracking number, tracking company, or tracking URL on an existing fulfillment (post-ship tracking correction or late-binding tracking attach). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Ap2 MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Ap2 MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for update_fulfillment_tracking: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Ap2. Nothing to install.
update_fulfillment_tracking is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the update_fulfillment_tracking rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for update_fulfillment_tracking. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
update_fulfillment_tracking is provided by the Mcp Ap2 MCP server (@codespar/mcp-ap2). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mcp Ap2, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
