WHAT IT DOES

What monitor.start does on Polymarket Agent Mcp

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs monitor.start safely

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

monitor.start Rate-limited

monitor.start stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
