The rule that runs light_delete_rule safely

light_delete_rule is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Tolpo, apply this rule, and every light_delete_rule call is checked against it from then on.
