Remove a partially-watched item from the Continue Watching / On Deck list.
AI agents call remove_from_continue_watching to permanently remove resources in Mcp Plex — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
This tool removes an item from the Continue Watching list, which is a deletion of watch-state/progress tracking data. The removal of playback progress state is not easily reversible — once removed from the On Deck list, the partial watch position context is discarded. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write since it irreversibly removes tracking data rather than modifying it in a recoverable way.

remove_from_continue_watching is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the remove_from_continue_watching 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.
