The rule that runs suggest_reallocation safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Mcp Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For suggest_reallocation, this is the rule to start with:
suggest_reallocation 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 Mcp Server, apply this rule, and every suggest_reallocation call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about suggest_reallocation
When a saved site DRIFTS (its national standing dropped — surfaced by get_shortlist refresh or a set_shortlist_alert firing), get replacement candidates from the rest of that shortlist so the alert becomes an action, not just a warning (Phase 5). Returns TWO tiers — tier_1_same_region (a near-in tactical swap) and tier_2_cross_region (a different-region arbitrage) — each re-scored against the DRIFTED slot's own objectives, PLUS drift_is_systemic: if the rest of your shortlist also slipped, the drop is region/baseline-wide and a same-region swap will inherit it (prefer cross_region); if peers held, it's idiosyncratic (tactical_ok). DC Hub does the reduction; the final weighted pick is yours. Candidates come from THIS shortlist only (save more via save_to_shortlist to widen the pool). Scoped to your API key. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
suggest_reallocation accepts 2 parameters: shortlist_name, drifted_site_ref. Required: shortlist_name. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
