Search available torrent releases for an episode or season. You can pass seriesId + seasonNumber + episodeNumber to look up a specific episode (the tool resolves the internal episodeId automatically). seriesId can be a Sonarr ID or tvdbId — both are auto-resolved.
AI agents call series_releases to retrieve information from Mediabox MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries torrent databases to retrieve information about available releases for media. It performs read-only lookups based on series identifiers and episode numbers. While it operates in the context of a media server with download capabilities, the tool itself only searches and returns information without triggering downloads, modifying data, or executing commands.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it "Search[es] available torrent releases" and "look[s] up a specific episode". The verb 'search' and 'look up' indicate data retrieval with no modification. No delete, create, update, execute, or financial operations are described.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access series_releases gives an agent:
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 series_releases:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"series_releases": {}
}
}series_releases is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Search available torrent releases for an episode or season. You can pass seriesId + seasonNumber + episodeNumber to look up a specific episode (the tool resolves the internal episodeId automatically). seriesId can be a Sonarr ID or tvdbId — both are auto-resolved. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mediabox MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Mediabox MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for series_releases: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Mediabox MCP. Nothing to install.
series_releases is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the series_releases rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for series_releases. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
series_releases is provided by the Mediabox MCP server (juancmpdev/mediabox-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Mediabox MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
