Add a TV series to Sonarr. Use sonarr_search first to find the tvdbId, and sonarr_get_root_folders / sonarr_get_quality_profiles to get valid values for rootFolderPath and qualityProfileId. Use sonarr_get_tags to get valid tag IDs.

AI agents use sonarr_add_series to create or modify resources in Mcp Arr. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.
Without a policy, an AI agent could call sonarr_add_series repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. PolicyLayer's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Mcp Arr.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sonarr_add_series gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:
Other write tools across the catalogue. The same approach applies to each: rate-limit and validate the arguments.
Add a TV series to Sonarr. Use sonarr_search first to find the tvdbId, and sonarr_get_root_folders / sonarr_get_quality_profiles to get valid values for rootFolderPath and qualityProfileId. Use sonarr_get_tags to get valid tag IDs.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Mcp Arr MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Mcp Arr MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sonarr_add_series: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mcp Arr. Nothing to install.
sonarr_add_series is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the sonarr_add_series rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for sonarr_add_series. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
sonarr_add_series is provided by the Mcp Arr MCP server (mcp-arr-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
