# Local approval policy

> Read and update a local agent's World ID approval threshold.

These tools are available on the local stdio MCP connection:

| Tool | Purpose | Confirmation |
| - | - | - |
| `get_payment_approval_policy` | Read this agent's World ID approval threshold. | Read-only. |
| `update_payment_approval_policy` | Change this agent's threshold. | Obtain explicit confirmation of the proposed change first. |

Use the tool schema exposed by the connected server for exact input fields.
The threshold contributes to the current approval policy; it does not replace
payment review, account readiness, or a separate funding authorization.
Follow the payment's returned approval status.

These tools are not part of the Remote MCP surface. Users can also manage
their threshold on [the AgentBank platform](https://app.useagentbank.com).
See [Set your approval threshold](/autonomy/configure-thresholds) for the
user-facing instructions.
