AI agents use provision_tool to commit financial operations through AgentPay — usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.
Provisioning access to a tool API on an autonomous payment gateway (AgentPay) implies committing financial obligations — the agent is setting up a paid account/subscription for a tool. Given the server's context of funding wallets and paying for tool APIs, provisioning an account likely creates a billing relationship or reserves credits, making this a Financial-category action.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the provision_tool 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.
