RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs clerk.create_m2m_token safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Vee3, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clerk.create_m2m_token, this is the rule to start with:

clerk.create_m2m_token Rate-limited

clerk.create_m2m_token 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.
