The rule that runs search_official_docs safely

search_official_docs 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 404 Directory, apply this rule, and every search_official_docs call is checked against it from then on.
