RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_active_threads safely

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

list_active_threads Allowed

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

  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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