RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs insert_data safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Project Guardian MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For insert_data, this is the rule to start with:

insert_data Rate-limited

insert_data 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.
