Why apply_client_fee needs a policy

This tool applies a financial charge to a client's profile, which represents a financial obligation or transaction against the client's account. This directly commits financial obligations, placing it in the Financial category. Misuse could result in unauthorized or incorrect charges being applied to client banking profiles.

How to control apply_client_fee

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

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

Any call to apply_client_fee is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register Mcp Mifosx — 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.
