Why connections_connect_callback is rated High
The description explicitly states it 'runs' an operation, indicating execution semantics. A 'connect callback' in an OAuth/connection flow can trigger authentication handshakes, establish persistent connections, or grant access to external services — all with potentially broad side effects. The description is generic and doesn't clarify exact behavior beyond 'running' the operation, so confidence is moderate.

The rule that runs connections_connect_callback safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Appaloft, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For connections_connect_callback, this is the rule to start with:
connections_connect_callback stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Appaloft, apply this rule, and every connections_connect_callback call is checked against it from then on.
