RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs network_speed_test safely

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

network_speed_test Allowed

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

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "network_speed_test": {}
  }

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

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