THE RISK

Critical Risk

Why sonos_clear_queue needs a policy

Clearing the entire queue is an irreversible bulk deletion of queued content. While it doesn't affect current playback, all queued tracks are permanently removed with no undo mechanism, making this Destructive. Severity is medium because it affects only the playback queue (recoverable by re-adding tracks) rather than persistent data.

From the tool's definition 'Remove all tracks from the queue' — permanently clears all queued tracks

POLICY

How to control sonos_clear_queue

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "sonos_clear_queue"
  ]
}

sonos_clear_queue 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 Sonos Ts — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
