RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs resources_configure_source 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 resources_configure_source, this is the rule to start with:

resources_configure_source Rate-limited

resources_configure_source 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.
