The rule that runs add_member_event safely

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