Discover WWDC sessions related to a specific video. Finds prerequisite sessions, follow-up content, and thematically similar talks. Essential for creating learning paths.
AI agents call find_related_wwdc_videos to retrieve information from Apple Docs MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns documentation/session metadata without side effects. It performs discovery and retrieval operations analogous to search or list functions. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. The worst misuse scenario is an AI returning irrelevant or excessive session recommendations, which has negligible blast radius compared to execute or destructive operations.
From the tool's definition Tool discovers and retrieves WWDC session metadata (prerequisite sessions, follow-up content, thematically similar talks). The description indicates data retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of code.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Apple Docs MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for find_related_wwdc_videos:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"find_related_wwdc_videos": {}

Discover WWDC sessions related to a specific video. Finds prerequisite sessions, follow-up content, and thematically similar talks. Essential for creating learning paths. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apple Docs MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Apple Docs MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for find_related_wwdc_videos: 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 Apple Docs MCP. Nothing to install.
find_related_wwdc_videos 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 find_related_wwdc_videos 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 find_related_wwdc_videos. 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.
find_related_wwdc_videos is provided by the Apple Docs MCP server (kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Apple Docs MCP, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
