RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_repo_hook 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 create_repo_hook, this is the rule to start with:

create_repo_hook Rate-limited

create_repo_hook 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 create_repo_hook call is checked against it from then on.
