The rule that runs simulate_surge_change 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 simulate_surge_change, this is the rule to start with:
simulate_surge_change stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 simulate_surge_change call is checked against it from then on.
