WHAT IT DOES

What restore_file does on EasyBits

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs restore_file safely

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

restore_file Rate-limited

restore_file 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.
