AI agents call tdarr_verify_folder_exists to retrieve information from Tdarr without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries the filesystem to determine if a folder exists. It has no side effects, performs no modifications, and poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent. The worst case would be probing the filesystem structure, which is a low-severity concern in most contexts.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tdarr_verify_folder_exists' and description 'Verify if a folder exists' indicate a read-only operation that checks for folder existence without modifying, deleting, or executing anything.

tdarr_verify_folder_exists 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 tdarr_verify_folder_exists 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 tdarr_verify_folder_exists. 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.
