MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous Tdarr tools

Destructive · High tdarr_remove_library_files This tool removes all file records from a library database. Destructive · High tdarr_bulk_delete_files This tool irreversibly deletes files from disk and purges records from the database. Destructive · Critical tdarr_cruddb This tool provides direct access to the underlying database with full CRUD capabilities. Destructive · High tdarr_delete_backup This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on database backups.

62 of Tdarr's 105 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control Tdarr

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Tdarr, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Deny destructive operations

{
  "tdarr_bulk_delete_files": {
    "deny_if": [
      {
        "conditions": [],
        "on_deny": "Blocked by default. Requires approval."
      }
    ]
  }
}

Destructive tools should never be available to autonomous agents without human approval.

Rate limit write operations

{
  "tdarr_add_audio_codec_exclude": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "tdarr_add_audio_codec_exclude_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "tdarr_auth_status": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "tdarr_auth_status_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

FAQ

Questions about Tdarr

Can an AI agent delete data through the Tdarr MCP server? +

Yes. The Tdarr server exposes 11 destructive tools including tdarr_bulk_delete_files, tdarr_cruddb, tdarr_delete_backup. These permanently remove resources with no undo. PolicyLayer blocks destructive tools by default so they never reach the upstream server.

How do I prevent bulk modifications through Tdarr? +

The Tdarr server has 33 write tools including tdarr_add_audio_codec_exclude, tdarr_add_plugin_include, tdarr_add_video_codec_exclude. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach Tdarr.

How many tools does the Tdarr MCP server expose? +

105 tools across 4 categories: Destructive, Execute, Read, Write. 43 are read-only. 62 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on Tdarr? +

Register the Tdarr MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every Tdarr tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 105 Tdarr tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
