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