RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs search_research 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 search_research, this is the rule to start with:

search_research Allowed

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

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

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

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