Why card_create needs a policy

This tool creates a new credit card entry in the financial management app. It modifies financial data by adding a new record, which is a reversible write operation. While it touches financial infrastructure, it does not move money or commit financial obligations directly, making Write the appropriate category. Misuse could lead to unauthorized credit card records being created in the user's account.

How to control card_create

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

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

card_create 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 Money Manager 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.
