Critical Risk

Why fw_remove_from_playlist needs a policy

Removing a track from a playlist is a destructive modification — the track's position in the playlist is deleted/removed. While not catastrophic (the track itself still exists), the playlist entry removal is not easily reversible without knowing the original index and re-adding. The description explicitly says 'Remove' and uses a POST to a /remove/ endpoint, indicating an irreversible deletion of the playlist entry.

How to control fw_remove_from_playlist

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 fw_remove_from_playlist:

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

fw_remove_from_playlist 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 Crow — 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.
