Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs 1ly_create_key safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and 1ly, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For 1ly_create_key, this is the rule to start with:
1ly_create_key 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect 1ly, apply this rule, and every 1ly_create_key call is checked against it from then on.
