What check-cancel does on Xrpl mcp
AI agents call check-cancel to permanently remove resources in Xrpl mcp, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why check-cancel is rated Critical
Cancelling a check is an irreversible on-ledger operation that permanently destroys the uncashed check object. Once cancelled, the check cannot be reinstated or cashed, making this a destructive action on the XRP Ledger.
From the tool's definition Cancel an uncashed Check on the XRP Ledger

The rule that runs check-cancel safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Xrpl mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For check-cancel, this is the rule to start with:
check-cancel is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Xrpl mcp, apply this rule, and every check-cancel call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about check-cancel
Cancel an uncashed Check on the XRP Ledger. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the Xrpl mcp MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the Xrpl MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for check-cancel: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Xrpl mcp. Nothing to install.
check-cancel is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the check-cancel rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for check-cancel. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
check-cancel is provided by the Xrpl MCP server (romthpt/mcp-xrpl). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
