Register the Claude File Management Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ask_site: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Claude File Management Server. Nothing to install.
ask_site is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ask_site rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ask_site. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ask_site is provided by the Claude File Management Server MCP server (vipin1000/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
