Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs send_channel_message safely

send_channel_message 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 Huly, apply this rule, and every send_channel_message call is checked against it from then on.
