RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sandbox_git_checkout 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 sandbox_git_checkout, this is the rule to start with:

sandbox_git_checkout Rate-limited

sandbox_git_checkout stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect EasyBits, apply this rule, and every sandbox_git_checkout call is checked against it from then on.
