RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs associations_create_association safely

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

associations_create_association Rate-limited

associations_create_association 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.
