RECOMMENDED RULE

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

play_pipeline_schedule Rate-limited

play_pipeline_schedule stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
