The rule that runs network_extract_auth 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 network_extract_auth, this is the rule to start with:
network_extract_auth is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every network_extract_auth call is checked against it from then on.
