From the tool's definition Tool name is 'movie_remove' and description states 'Remove a movie from Radarr'. The verb 'remove' indicates deletion of data from the media server's database.

POLICY

How to control movie_remove

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_remove:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "movie_remove"
  ]
}

movie_remove disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

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