# apply-native-policy-to-instance

Apply, list, or edit provider-native policies on API instances (Kong plugin,
Apigee template, Azure policy, or MuleSoft/Anypoint) via the MuleSoft
Platform MCP Server. TRIGGER when: the user asks what protection they have
on a provider's APIs ("what protection do I have for my Apigee APIs"), wants
to change an already-applied native policy ("improve the IP filtering to
include 1.1.1.1"), or apply one native plugin to an already-chosen instance
("add ip-restriction on this Kong service"). DO NOT TRIGGER when: they want
one Universal/canonical policy across many instances or providers — use
skill apply-universal-policy. DO NOT TRIGGER to remove, detach, enable, or
disable a policy, or when they are driving Anypoint REST (skill
apply-policy-to-api-instance).
