## chainctl libraries policy

Manage Libraries policies.

### Synopsis

Libraries policies control which upstream packages your organization can
pull. A policy configures automatic gates (cooldown, malware) and explicit
block/allow lists; a binding activates a policy for an (organization,
ecosystem) pair in either ENFORCE or PREVIEW mode.

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --api string         The url of the Chainguard platform API. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
      --audience string    The Chainguard token audience to request. (default "https://console-api.enforce.dev")
      --config string      A specific chainctl config file. Uses CHAINCTL_CONFIG environment variable if a file is not passed explicitly.
      --console string     The url of the Chainguard platform Console. (default "https://console.chainguard.dev")
      --force-color        Force color output even when stdout is not a TTY.
  -h, --help               Help for chainctl
      --issuer string      The url of the Chainguard STS endpoint. (default "https://issuer.enforce.dev")
      --log-level string   Set the log level (debug, info) (default "ERROR")

  -v, --v int              Set the log verbosity level.
