An AI agent can call cost_generate_report faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Plugin Hub by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cost_generate_report safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Plugin Hub, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cost_generate_report, this is the rule to start with:
cost_generate_report 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Plugin Hub, apply this rule, and every cost_generate_report call is checked against it from then on.
