Why movie_releases needs a policy

This tool queries torrent release metadata and returns search results. While it relates to download management in a media server context, the tool itself performs only information retrieval — no downloads are initiated, no files are modified, and no state changes occur on the system.

From the tool's definition Tool performs a search query that 'Shows size, languages, seeders, score' for torrent releases. It retrieves and displays information without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing operations.

How to control movie_releases

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Mediabox MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for movie_releases:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "movie_releases": {}
  }
}

movie_releases is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Mediabox MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
