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