Why update_subscribe needs a policy

The tool modifies existing subscription records, which is a write operation. It is not destructive (subscriptions can be re-modified or deleted separately), not financial (no payment/billing changes described), and not read-only.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'update_subscribe' and description '更新现有订阅' (update existing subscription) indicates modification of subscription data. This is a reversible write operation that changes subscription settings or status without permanent deletion.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update_subscribe gives an agent:

How to control update_subscribe

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MoviePilot MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for update_subscribe:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "update_subscribe": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "update_subscribe_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

update_subscribe 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.

  1. Create a free account and register MoviePilot MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
