RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_session_context safely

get_session_context Allowed

get_session_context is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Project Guardian MCP, apply this rule, and every get_session_context call is checked against it from then on.
