RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_person safely

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

create_person Rate-limited

create_person 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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_person? +

What risk level is create_person? +

Can I rate-limit create_person? +

How do I block create_person completely? +
