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