RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs insert_timeline_gap safely

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

insert_timeline_gap Rate-limited

insert_timeline_gap 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.
