The rule that runs battery_status 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 battery_status, this is the rule to start with:
battery_status is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Omarchy-MCP, apply this rule, and every battery_status call is checked against it from then on.
