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