Why x402_fetch needs a policy

The 'fetch' verb indicates data retrieval without side effects. Despite the empty description lowering confidence, the naming convention and context of an x402 payment system (which manages payment conditions rather than executing payments directly) suggests this tool retrieves or queries payment metadata or status. However, without explicit documentation, confidence is moderate.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'x402_fetch' with 'fetch' suffix suggests a retrieval operation typical of Read category. X402 refers to the HTTP 402 Payment Required standard mentioned in the server description.

How to control x402_fetch

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Waiaas, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for x402_fetch:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "x402_fetch": {}
  }
}

x402_fetch 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 Waiaas — 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.
