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