What replace_text does on Pypi:best Cad

The rule that runs replace_text safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:best Cad, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For replace_text, this is the rule to start with:
replace_text stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Pypi:best Cad, apply this rule, and every replace_text call is checked against it from then on.
