Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs generate_insights safely

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

generate_insights Rate-limited

generate_insights gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
