RECOMMENDED RULE

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

markup_margin Rate-limited

markup_margin 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.

Or set a price from a cost and a margin percent (price = cost / (1 − margin)), or from a markup percent (price = cost × (1 + markup)). Or walk a list of successive discounts off a price, rounding each step half away from zero to the cent. Price: $0.001 USDC per successful call (x402, Solana).
