The rule that runs memory_unregister_type safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Jshookmcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For memory_unregister_type, this is the rule to start with:
memory_unregister_type is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every memory_unregister_type call is checked against it from then on.
