RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs libi.add_effect safely

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

libi.add_effect Rate-limited

libi.add_effect 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.

Author a custom animation effect from a manifest + an animate.js body — a PURE (progress, params) → TransformDelta function (math helpers only; no canvas/ctx/IO).
