The rule that runs retrieveUserChangePasswordWithId safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Fusionauth, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For retrieveUserChangePasswordWithId, this is the rule to start with:
retrieveUserChangePasswordWithId is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Fusionauth, apply this rule, and every retrieveUserChangePasswordWithId call is checked against it from then on.
