RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_timeline_snapping Rate-limited

set_timeline_snapping 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.
