How to control bcm-pricing-calc

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Awslabs Valkey, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for bcm-pricing-calc:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "bcm-pricing-calc": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "bcm-pricing-calc_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 60,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

bcm-pricing-calc gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
