Why create_draft_order needs a policy

This tool creates a draft order, which is a reversible write operation. Draft orders are typically temporary or modifiable states in e-commerce systems, distinguishing this from Destructive. While it has financial implications (orders eventually may lead to transactions), the tool itself only creates a draft—not finalizing payments or financial commitments. Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'create_draft_order' and description states 'Create a new draft order. Side effect: creates a DraftOrder'—this reversibly creates a new data entity in the system.

How to control create_draft_order

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "create_draft_order": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_draft_order_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

create_draft_order 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Sapo — 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.
