What remove_from_playlist does on AirMCP
AI agents call remove_from_playlist to permanently remove resources in AirMCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why remove_from_playlist is rated Critical
Removing a track from a playlist modifies the playlist by deleting an entry. While the track itself is not deleted from the library, the playlist membership change may be difficult or impossible to undo programmatically, making this closer to Destructive than Write. Severity is medium since it affects user-curated playlist data but does not delete the underlying media file.
From the tool's definition "Remove a track from a playlist" — removing content from a playlist is a deletion/removal action that may not be easily reversible depending on the application state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_from_playlist safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and AirMCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_from_playlist, this is the rule to start with:
remove_from_playlist is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect AirMCP, apply this rule, and every remove_from_playlist call is checked against it from then on.
