Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs Create_Group safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Files Com, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For Create_Group, this is the rule to start with:
Create_Group 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 Files Com, apply this rule, and every Create_Group call is checked against it from then on.
