WHAT IT DOES

What tv_play does on Iconnect

AI agents invoke tv_play to trigger actions in Iconnect. 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

Playing media is an external operation that controls system/app state. It doesn't read/write data reversibly, nor is it destructive or financial. It executes an action (playback) whose effect depends on arguments (the movie/episode name), fitting the Execute category.

From the tool's definition 'Play a movie or episode by name' — triggers media playback, an external operation on the Apple TV/TV app

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs tv_play 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 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.
