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