Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ruvector_index_stats 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 ruvector_index_stats, this is the rule to start with:
ruvector_index_stats 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 Ruflo, apply this rule, and every ruvector_index_stats call is checked against it from then on.
