The rule that runs rhino_object_info safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Rhino, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For rhino_object_info, this is the rule to start with:
rhino_object_info is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Rhino, apply this rule, and every rhino_object_info call is checked against it from then on.
