The rule that runs so_patch_hex safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and SO Analyzer MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For so_patch_hex, this is the rule to start with:
so_patch_hex 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 SO Analyzer MCP, apply this rule, and every so_patch_hex call is checked against it from then on.
