WHAT IT DOES

What bar_position_set does on Omarchy-MCP

AI agents invoke bar_position_set to trigger actions in Omarchy-MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs bar_position_set safely

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

bar_position_set Rate-limited

bar_position_set 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.
