RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_mcp_server safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and A2wave, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_mcp_server, this is the rule to start with:

get_mcp_server Allowed

get_mcp_server is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "tools": {
    "get_mcp_server": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect A2wave, apply this rule, and every get_mcp_server call is checked against it from then on.
