The rule that runs enable_dkim safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and cPanel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For enable_dkim, this is the rule to start with:
enable_dkim 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect cPanel MCP Server, apply this rule, and every enable_dkim call is checked against it from then on.
