Add an M3U playlist by URL. Fetches, parses, and imports all channels.
AI agents use crow_iptv_add_playlist to create or update resources in Crow — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.
This tool creates and imports new data (playlist channels) into the Crow project management system, which is a reversible modification operation. While it modifies system state by adding channels, the action is not destructive (channels can be removed/updated later) and does not execute arbitrary code or move financial resources.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Fetches, parses, and imports all channels' from an M3U playlist URL, indicating creation/addition of data entries (playlist channels) to the system.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access crow_iptv_add_playlist gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for crow_iptv_add_playlist:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"crow_iptv_add_playlist": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "crow_iptv_add_playlist_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}crow_iptv_add_playlist stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add an M3U playlist by URL. Fetches, parses, and imports all channels. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Crow MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Crow MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for crow_iptv_add_playlist: 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 Crow. Nothing to install.
crow_iptv_add_playlist is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the crow_iptv_add_playlist 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 crow_iptv_add_playlist. 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.
crow_iptv_add_playlist is provided by the Crow MCP server (kh0pper/crow). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Crow, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
