The rule that runs prepare_safe_tx_approve safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and VaultPilot MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For prepare_safe_tx_approve, this is the rule to start with:
prepare_safe_tx_approve 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 VaultPilot MCP, apply this rule, and every prepare_safe_tx_approve call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about prepare_safe_tx_approve
Add an additional approveHash signature to a Safe (Gnosis Safe) transaction that's ALREADY in the queue (proposed elsewhere — Safe Web UI, another VaultPilot install, or a co-signer).

Use prepare_safe_tx_propose instead when you're proposing a NEW Safe tx. It is categorised as a Write tool in the VaultPilot MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data.
