From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_linode_interface' and description 'Add an interface to a Linode' indicates creation of a new networking interface resource.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_linode_interface safely

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

create_linode_interface Rate-limited

create_linode_interface 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.
