RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_integration_time Rate-limited

set_integration_time 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.

How do I enforce a policy on set_integration_time? +

Register the Pypi:labmcp Alicat MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_integration_time: 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 Pypi:labmcp Alicat. Nothing to install.

What risk level is set_integration_time? +
