RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs vehicle.vin.models safely

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

vehicle.vin.models Allowed

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

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "vehicle.vin.models": {}
  }
}

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

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