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