The rule that runs callback_clear safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Zebbern Kali MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For callback_clear, this is the rule to start with:
callback_clear 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 Zebbern Kali MCP, apply this rule, and every callback_clear call is checked against it from then on.
