RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_parts safely

search_parts Allowed

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

View as policy code

policy.json

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

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

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