RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ps_add_layer 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 ps_add_layer, this is the rule to start with:

ps_add_layer Rate-limited

ps_add_layer 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.
