obs-remove-input

THE RISK

Critical Risk

The tool performs irreversible deletion of OBS inputs (sources). Once removed, the input configuration is lost and cannot be recovered without manual reconfiguration. This meets the Destructive category definition as it permanently removes data that cannot be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'remove', and description states it 'Removes an existing input'. In OBS Studio, removing an input irreversibly deletes a source from the system, making it an irreversible deletion operation.

HOW TO CONTROL OBS-REMOVE-INPUT

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OBS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for obs-remove-input:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "obs-remove-input"
  ]
}

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

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