RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs set_auto_shutdown safely

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

set_auto_shutdown Rate-limited

set_auto_shutdown 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.
