Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs model_setup_registry 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 model_setup_registry, this is the rule to start with:
model_setup_registry 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 model_setup_registry call is checked against it from then on.
