RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_jobs safely

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

get_jobs Allowed

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

    "get_jobs": {}
  }
}

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

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