The rule that runs login safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and MCP Trader Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For login, this is the rule to start with:
Any call to login is blocked until a human approves it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect MCP Trader Server, apply this rule, and every login call is checked against it from then on.
