POLICY

How to control Philips Hue MCP Service

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Philips Hue MCP Service, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "connect_to_bridge": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "connect_to_bridge_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.
