Access complete WWDC session content including full transcript, code examples, and resources. Use after finding videos with list_wwdc_videos or search_wwdc_content. Provides offline access to entire session content.
AI agents call get_wwdc_video 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 fetches publicly available Apple documentation and WWDC session materials without creating side effects, modifying data, executing arbitrary code, or irreversibly changing state. It is purely a read operation querying Apple's technical documentation resources. The severity is low because accessing public developer documentation poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool accesses and retrieves WWDC session content including transcripts, code examples, and resources. Verbs indicate retrieval: 'Access', 'Provides offline access'. No modification, execution, deletion, or financial operations are performed.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_wwdc_video gives an agent:
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 get_wwdc_video:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_wwdc_video": {}
}
}get_wwdc_video is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Access complete WWDC session content including full transcript, code examples, and resources. Use after finding videos with list_wwdc_videos or search_wwdc_content. Provides offline access to entire session content. 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 get_wwdc_video: 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.
get_wwdc_video 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 get_wwdc_video 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 get_wwdc_video. 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.
get_wwdc_video 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.
