# Epydios Policy Gateway

> Use this tool when you need to enforce policy-based access control and approval workflows for tool execution, solving problems of unauthorized access and non-compliant operations. It applies allow/deny/step-up approval rules to every tool call, accepting input requests and outputting access decisions, with features like evidence logging and separation of duties enforcement. Ideal for use cases requiring secure and auditable tool usage, such as in regulated industries or sensitive environments.

## Description

Provides a policy enforcement layer that sits between clients and tool execution, applying allow/deny/step-up approval rules to every tool call. Supports both standalone mode with sandboxed shell and filesystem tools, and proxy mode that routes to downstream servers with namespaced tool merging. Features include 2-minute TTL step-up approvals via local CLI, append-only JSONL evidence logging, separation of duties enforcement, and Docker-based sandboxing with dropped capabilities and network isolation.
