WHAT IT DOES

What tv_search does on Iconnect

AI agents call tv_search to retrieve information from Iconnect without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why tv_search is rated Low

This tool queries a database or search index for movies and TV shows matching user input. It returns results without side effects, making it a Read operation. The blast radius is minimal: worst case, the user receives irrelevant search results. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial transactions occur.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'tv_search' and description states it 'Search movies and TV shows by name or show title' — a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of arbitrary code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs tv_search safely

tv_search Allowed

tv_search is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "tv_search": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Iconnect, apply this rule, and every tv_search call is checked against it from then on.
