Critical Risk

Why player_delete needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion operation. Once a video player is deleted, the action cannot be easily undone without recreating it. This matches the Destructive category definition: 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data, or actions that cannot be undone'.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'player_delete' and description 'Deletes a MultiViewer video player' explicitly indicate irreversible deletion of a player instance.

How to control player_delete

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "player_delete"
  ]
}

player_delete disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

  1. Create a free account and register MultiViewer — 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.
