Summary	MCP stdio interceptor (@jamjet/mcp-shim) that applies one YAML policy file (block / requireapproval / audit / budget cap) to tools/call requests before they reach the real MCP server. The same policy also runs in Claude Code PreToolUse hooks (@jamjet/claude-code-hook), OpenAI Agents SDK guardrails (@jamjet/openai-guardrail), and JamJet's Python/TS SDKs — jamjet audit show tails every decision across every adapter from /.jamjet/audit/.	Permission control plane for AI agents. MCP proxy that enforces least-privilege YAML policies on every tool call, classifies sensitive data (PII/PHI), detects dangerous skill chains, and generates compliance audit trails. Supports stdio and HTTP proxy modes.
