WHAT IT DOES

What list_employees does on Webcake Storefront

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs list_employees safely

list_employees Allowed

list_employees is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "list_employees": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Webcake Storefront, apply this rule, and every list_employees call is checked against it from then on.
