RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs noop safely

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

noop Rate-limited

noop gets a rate cap, and everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
