RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs update_zobject safely

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

update_zobject Rate-limited

update_zobject 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.

          "max": 30,

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Zype Com, apply this rule, and every update_zobject call is checked against it from then on.
