The rule that runs set_employee_github 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 set_employee_github, this is the rule to start with:
set_employee_github stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Nitrostack, apply this rule, and every set_employee_github call is checked against it from then on.
