The rule that runs cms_update_entry safely

cms_update_entry 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 Munin, apply this rule, and every cms_update_entry call is checked against it from then on.
