RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs getMeshStatistics safely

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

getMeshStatistics Allowed

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