RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs aos8_status safely

aos8_status Allowed

aos8_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hpe Networking, apply this rule, and every aos8_status call is checked against it from then on.
