The rule that runs resources_diagnostic_summary 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_diagnostic_summary, this is the rule to start with:
resources_diagnostic_summary is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 resources_diagnostic_summary call is checked against it from then on.
