What replay_session does on Spotify
AI agents use replay_session to create or update resources in Spotify, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Spotify environment.
Why replay_session is rated Medium
An AI agent can call replay_session faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Spotify by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs replay_session 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 replay_session, this is the rule to start with:
replay_session stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Spotify, apply this rule, and every replay_session call is checked against it from then on.
