RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_repo_topic safely

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

add_repo_topic Rate-limited

add_repo_topic 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 Forgejo, apply this rule, and every add_repo_topic call is checked against it from then on.
