The rule that runs pcb_get_layer_display 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 pcb_get_layer_display, this is the rule to start with:
pcb_get_layer_display is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
