RECOMMENDED RULE

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

package_risk Rate-limited

package_risk 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.
