The rule that runs move_stage_xy 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 move_stage_xy, this is the rule to start with:
move_stage_xy 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.
