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