PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Alko MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for list_stores:

"tools": {
"list_stores": {}
}
}list_stores is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

list_stores is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_stores rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_stores. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_stores is provided by the Alko MCP Server MCP server (markusl/alko-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Alko MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
