The rule that runs approve_incentives safely

approve_incentives 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sanka MCP Server, apply this rule, and every approve_incentives call is checked against it from then on.
