What plugin_inspect does on 0nmcp

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs plugin_inspect safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 0nmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For plugin_inspect, this is the rule to start with:
plugin_inspect 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 0nmcp, apply this rule, and every plugin_inspect call is checked against it from then on.
