The rule that runs getApLoadBalance safely

getApLoadBalance is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tplink Omada, apply this rule, and every getApLoadBalance call is checked against it from then on.
