RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_rules safely

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

get_rules Allowed

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