RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs claims_issue safely

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

claims_issue Rate-limited

claims_issue 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.
