The rule that runs get-access-token safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and GoHighLevel MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get-access-token, this is the rule to start with:
get-access-token is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
