Search for movies, shows, episodes, people, or lists on Trakt
AI agents call search to retrieve information from Trakt MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The search tool retrieves information from the Trakt database without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only operation that returns results based on user queries. No data is altered, deleted, or financial transactions are involved.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'search' and description 'Search for movies, shows, episodes, people, or lists on Trakt' indicates querying/retrieval of data with no side effects.

Register the Trakt MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search: 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 Trakt MCP Server. Nothing to install.
search 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 search 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 search. 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.
