Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs corpus_remove_source safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livepilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For corpus_remove_source, this is the rule to start with:
corpus_remove_source is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livepilot, apply this rule, and every corpus_remove_source call is checked against it from then on.
