RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs app_diag_workspace safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Eda Agent, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For app_diag_workspace, this is the rule to start with:

app_diag_workspace Allowed

app_diag_workspace is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "app_diag_workspace": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every app_diag_workspace call is checked against it from then on.
