Why show_details needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries metadata about TV shows, seasons, and episodes without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects on the system or data. The pagination parameters (seasonNumber, page, pageSize) are filtering mechanisms for read operations. Severity is low because misuse would only expose existing media library information without enabling harmful actions.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get detailed info about a TV show including seasons and episodes' with pagination options. The verbs 'get' and 'info retrieval' indicate read-only operations with no modifications.

How to control show_details

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 show_details:

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

show_details 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.
