RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs em_open_task safely

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

em_open_task Allowed

em_open_task is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Execution Market, apply this rule, and every em_open_task call is checked against it from then on.
