The rule that runs auto_proposeAction safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Genesis, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For auto_proposeAction, this is the rule to start with:
auto_proposeAction 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 Genesis, apply this rule, and every auto_proposeAction call is checked against it from then on.
