RECOMMENDED RULE

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

libi.cancel_job Rate-limited

libi.cancel_job 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.
