What play_song does on Netease Music

AI agents invoke play_song to trigger actions in Netease Music. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why play_song needs a policy

This tool searches for a song and then executes an external process (neteasecli/mpv) to play it. It triggers an external operation with real side effects (audio playback via a local application), placing it in the Execute category. Severity is medium because misuse could cause unwanted audio playback or resource consumption, but there is no data destruction or financial risk.

From the tool's definition 'play the best match with neteasecli/mpv' — triggers external media player execution to play audio

How to control play_song

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Netease Music, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for play_song:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "play_song": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "play_song_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

play_song stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Netease Music — 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.
