RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs federal_register safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ScorpTech x402 API, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For federal_register, this is the rule to start with:

federal_register Rate-limited

federal_register 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.
