The rule that runs proj_delete_variant 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 proj_delete_variant, this is the rule to start with:
proj_delete_variant is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Eda Agent, apply this rule, and every proj_delete_variant call is checked against it from then on.
