The rule that runs ssl_apply_letsencrypt safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Aapanel, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ssl_apply_letsencrypt, this is the rule to start with:
ssl_apply_letsencrypt 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 Aapanel, apply this rule, and every ssl_apply_letsencrypt call is checked against it from then on.
