RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs post_task_event safely

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

post_task_event Rate-limited

post_task_event 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.
