Why amm-clawback needs a policy

Clawback is a financial operation that retrieves/reclaims assets from an AMM, directly moving cryptocurrency/tokens. This is a financial transaction on the XRP Ledger that moves funds and cannot be trivially reversed, making it Financial category with critical severity due to potential for misuse (draining assets from AMM positions).

From the tool's definition "Clawback assets from an Automated Market Maker (AMM)" — forcibly reclaims/retrieves financial assets from an AMM pool

POLICY

How to control amm-clawback

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

policy.json

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

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