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