MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

Critical Risk

The most dangerous MCP Podcast Scraper tools

Destructive · Medium remove_tracking Removing a podcast from the tracking list is an irreversible deletion of the tracking record. Execute · High scrape_podcast This tool actively fetches remote content (scraping YouTube or RSS feeds) and invokes an external third-party transcription service (Deepgram). Write · Low add_tracking This tool creates a new tracking entry in the system, which constitutes a data modification (Write category). Write · Low save_summary This is a Write operation: it creates or modifies a markdown file in a reversible manner.

4 of MCP Podcast Scraper's 10 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP Podcast Scraper

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

Deny destructive operations

{
  "remove_tracking": {
    "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

{
  "add_tracking": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "add_tracking_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "check_new_episodes": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "check_new_episodes_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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