RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs connection_status safely

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

connection_status Allowed

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

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

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

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