RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ae_render_active_comp safely

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

ae_render_active_comp Rate-limited

ae_render_active_comp stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
