RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs hives_select_runtime safely

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

hives_select_runtime Rate-limited

hives_select_runtime 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.
