Critical Risk

Why void_payment needs a policy

Voiding a payment is a financial operation that reverses or cancels a payment commitment. This has direct financial consequences and is irreversible in many payment systems. Given the server context (Agent-to-Agent Payment Protocol), misuse could cancel legitimate payments, cause financial loss, or disrupt payment flows at scale.

From the tool's definition 'void_payment' and 'Void/annul a payment' — directly cancels/annuls a financial payment transaction

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access void_payment gives an agent:

How to control void_payment

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 void_payment:

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

Any call to void_payment 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.
