Why approve_disburse_loan needs a policy

Disbursing a loan moves money from the financial institution to the borrower, which is a direct financial transaction and monetary commitment. This is an irreversible financial operation — once funds are disbursed, the loan obligation is created. Misuse could result in unauthorized loan disbursements causing significant financial loss.

How to control approve_disburse_loan

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 approve_disburse_loan:

policy.json

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

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