RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs all_outputs_off safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pypi:labmcp Alicat, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For all_outputs_off, this is the rule to start with:

all_outputs_off Rate-limited

all_outputs_off 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.
