Why verify_notification needs a policy

HMAC signature verification is a read-only security operation. It retrieves/validates data (the signature and integration key) to determine authenticity but produces no side effects—no state changes, financial commitments, or external operations. While part of a payment system (AP2), the tool itself only performs local verification, making it a Read operation with low severity.

From the tool's definition The tool performs 'local verification' of a webhook notification HMAC signature 'against the integration key' with 'no API call.' This is a cryptographic validation operation that reads and compares signatures without modifying state, creating obligations,…

How to control verify_notification

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 verify_notification:

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

verify_notification 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.
