RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs install_python_package safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Pengstrike, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For install_python_package, this is the rule to start with:

install_python_package Rate-limited

install_python_package stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
