The rule that runs memory 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 memory, this is the rule to start with:

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "memory": {}
  }
}
