## Why shows_without_new_episodes is rated High

shows_without_new_episodes triggers real processes with real consequences. An agent gone sideways doesn't fire it once. It starts dozens of builds, sends mass notifications, or burns through compute before anyone looks up.

## Use case

AI agents invoke shows_without_new_episodes to trigger actions in Spotify. 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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Spotify:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "shows_without_new_episodes": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "shows_without_new_episodes_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
