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