RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_by_abstract safely

search_by_abstract Allowed

search_by_abstract is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

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

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