get_queue

Read the playback queue. Use this for queue CONTENTS (what is playing, what is up next, how long it runs, what repeats). Use peek_next for a short lookahead. Quota: 1 read; view=enriched and include=runtime add one GET /me/player, and the context label adds one catalog read.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_queue safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Spotify, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_queue, this is the rule to start with:

get_queue Allowed

get_queue is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_queue": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Spotify, apply this rule, and every get_queue call is checked against it from then on.
