PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Packet Tracer MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for pt_get_device_details:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"pt_get_device_details": {}
}
}pt_get_device_details is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
