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