Why series_remove needs a policy

Removing a series from Sonarr permanently deletes the series entry and associated metadata from the media library. This action cannot be undone and represents permanent data loss. While the underlying media files may or may not be physically deleted depending on Sonarr configuration, the library removal itself is irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'series_remove' combined with description 'Remove a series from Sonarr' indicates permanent deletion of media library content. The verb 'remove' in the context of media server management denotes irreversible deletion.

How to control series_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 series_remove:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "series_remove"
  ]
}

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

  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.
