WHAT IT DOES

What tv_play does on AirMCP

AI agents invoke tv_play to trigger actions in AirMCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why tv_play is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation — playing media on the TV/Apple TV app — whose effect depends on the provided arguments (the name of the movie or episode). It is not a simple read, it actively controls media playback, making it Execute category. Misuse could result in unwanted media playback but has limited blast radius.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs tv_play 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 tv_play, this is the rule to start with:

tv_play Rate-limited

tv_play stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
