The rule that runs fleets_deleteAgent 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 fleets_deleteAgent, this is the rule to start with:
fleets_deleteAgent is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Genesis, apply this rule, and every fleets_deleteAgent call is checked against it from then on.
