Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs record_research_finding safely

record_research_finding 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 Metis Public Health, apply this rule, and every record_research_finding call is checked against it from then on.
