The rule that runs mcp__flowdot__invoke_toolkit_tool safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and FlowDot MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For mcp__flowdot__invoke_toolkit_tool, this is the rule to start with:
mcp__flowdot__invoke_toolkit_tool stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect FlowDot MCP Server, apply this rule, and every mcp__flowdot__invoke_toolkit_tool call is checked against it from then on.
