Register the Government of Canada Open Data MCP Servers MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for query_bridges: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Government of Canada Open Data MCP Servers. Nothing to install.
query_bridges is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the query_bridges rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for query_bridges. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
query_bridges is provided by the Government of Canada Open Data MCP Servers MCP server (krunal16-c/gov-ca-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
