The rule that runs api_update_requests safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DutyDeck, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For api_update_requests, this is the rule to start with:
api_update_requests 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 DutyDeck, apply this rule, and every api_update_requests call is checked against it from then on.
