The rule that runs ctf_pwn_solver safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Kali Security MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ctf_pwn_solver, this is the rule to start with:
ctf_pwn_solver stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Kali Security MCP, apply this rule, and every ctf_pwn_solver call is checked against it from then on.
