WHAT IT DOES

What self_window_snap does on Omarchy-MCP

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

self_window_snap Rate-limited

self_window_snap 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.
