THE RISK

Why withdraw needs a policy

Withdrawal of funds from savings accounts is a core financial operation that commits financial obligations and transfers money. Even with validation of accountId and balance, the tool's primary purpose is to execute a monetary transaction. This falls under the Financial category with critical severity due to the high blast radius if misused by an AI agent—unauthorized withdrawals could cause direct financial loss.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'withdraw' and description explicitly states 'Withdraw money from a savings account.' This directly moves money out of a financial account.

POLICY

How to control withdraw

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 withdraw:

policy.json

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

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