Attacks that exploit this kind of access

salary_distribution 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 Frontmcp, apply this rule, and every salary_distribution call is checked against it from then on.
