RECOMMENDED RULE

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and UnClick, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For csv_parse, this is the rule to start with:

csv_parse Allowed

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

    "csv_parse": {}
  }
}

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

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