The rule that runs blossom-delete safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Nostr Bray, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For blossom-delete, this is the rule to start with:
blossom-delete is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nostr Bray, apply this rule, and every blossom-delete call is checked against it from then on.
