AI agents call overseerr_search to retrieve information from Arr Suite MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves search results from Overseerr (a media request management system) without modifying, creating, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a read-only search function that queries available media content. The search operation has minimal blast radius—worst case, it returns information about media titles. No data is created, modified, deleted, or financial impact occurs.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'overseerr_search' and description 'Search for movies and TV shows' indicates a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Arr Suite MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for overseerr_search:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"overseerr_search": {}
}
}overseerr_search is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

overseerr_search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the overseerr_search 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for overseerr_search. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
overseerr_search is provided by the Arr Suite MCP Server MCP server (shaktech786/arr-suite-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Arr Suite MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
