RECOMMENDED RULE

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

unlock_phase Rate-limited

unlock_phase 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.
