PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MaverickMCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for research_comprehensive_research:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "research_comprehensive_research": {}
  }
}
