The rule that runs seafile_rename safely

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