What add_to_playlist does on Iconnect
AI agents use add_to_playlist to create or update resources in Iconnect, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Iconnect environment.
Why add_to_playlist is rated Medium
This tool modifies user music library data by adding a track to a playlist. It is a write operation—data is created or modified (the playlist's track list), but the action is reversible and causes no permanent loss of data. It has a narrow blast radius limited to a single user's music preferences. Severity is low because misuse would only add unwanted tracks to playlists, which can be easily undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_to_playlist' and description 'Add a track to an existing playlist' indicate creation/modification of playlist data. The action is reversible (tracks can be removed from playlists).
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs add_to_playlist safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Iconnect, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_to_playlist, this is the rule to start with:
add_to_playlist stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every add_to_playlist call is checked against it from then on.
