RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs cache_quit safely

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

cache_quit Rate-limited

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