RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs v8_heap_snapshot_list 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 v8_heap_snapshot_list, this is the rule to start with:

v8_heap_snapshot_list Allowed

v8_heap_snapshot_list is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Jshookmcp, apply this rule, and every v8_heap_snapshot_list call is checked against it from then on.
