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