Why sonos_save_queue needs a policy

This tool creates a new persistent Sonos playlist by saving the current queue. This is a write operation that modifies the user's playlist library by adding a new resource (the saved playlist). While reversible through deletion, it commits data to persistent storage.

From the tool's definition Save the current queue as a Sonos playlist with the specified title.

POLICY

How to control sonos_save_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_save_queue:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sonos_save_queue": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sonos_save_queue_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

sonos_save_queue 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.

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.
