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