The rule that runs erase_pipeline_job safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Gitlab Mcp, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For erase_pipeline_job, this is the rule to start with:
erase_pipeline_job 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 Gitlab Mcp, apply this rule, and every erase_pipeline_job call is checked against it from then on.
