The rule that runs news_leaderboard safely

news_leaderboard Allowed

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "news_leaderboard": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Aibtc, apply this rule, and every news_leaderboard call is checked against it from then on.
