Why getPaymentAutoAllocates needs a policy

This tool retrieves configuration/settings information about automatic payment allocations for an account. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, no code execution, no financial transactions, and no data modification. The use of 'Get' in both name and description, combined with the context of reading settings rather than changing them, clearly places this in the Read category.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'get' and description states 'Get automatic payment allocation settings' - both indicate data retrieval with no modification or execution

POLICY

How to control getPaymentAutoAllocates

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "getPaymentAutoAllocates": {}
  }
}

getPaymentAutoAllocates is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Bunq MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
