RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs load_skill safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hpe Networking, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For load_skill, this is the rule to start with:

load_skill Allowed

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "load_skill": {}
  }
}

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 load_skill call is checked against it from then on.
