The rule that runs servicenow_sdk safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Servicenow Api, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For servicenow_sdk, this is the rule to start with:
servicenow_sdk stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Servicenow Api, apply this rule, and every servicenow_sdk call is checked against it from then on.
