Generates a snippet to validate referral IDs, statuses, and eligibility.

How to control generate_referral_validation_snippet ↓

AI agents use generate_referral_validation_snippet to create or update resources in PayRam MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your PayRam MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

While the tool itself is a code generator (often considered Read in isolation), the snippets it produces are intended for server-side validation that affects referral eligibility determination and status tracking in a payment gateway context. This creates or modifies referral program state rather than merely querying it.

From the tool's definition Tool generates snippets that create or modify referral validation logic and potentially track referral status/eligibility, which could alter referral program state or eligibility records.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access generate_referral_validation_snippet gives an agent:

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

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

generate_referral_validation_snippet 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 PayRam MCP Server — 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.
