Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access review_specification gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude Patent Creator, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for review_specification:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "review_specification": {}
  }
}

review_specification is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
