The rule that runs audit_batch safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Claude Engram, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For audit_batch, this is the rule to start with:
audit_batch is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
