WHAT IT DOES

What wifi_connect does on Omarchy-MCP

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

wifi_connect Rate-limited

wifi_connect 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.
