WHAT IT DOES

What mcp_performance_metrics does on Ae

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs mcp_performance_metrics safely

mcp_performance_metrics Allowed

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

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