Why sonos_set_treble needs a policy

This tool modifies device audio settings (treble EQ) reversibly and non-destructively. It falls under Write category as it creates or modifies data/settings. Severity is low because: (1) the change is easily reversible by setting a different value, (2) EQ adjustments have no financial impact, (3) the blast radius is limited to audio quality parameters on local Sonos devices, and (4) there are no irreversible…

From the tool's definition Tool name 'sonos_set_treble' and description 'Set treble EQ level' indicate a modification action that adjusts audio device settings (treble equalization) within a specified range (-10 to +10).

POLICY

How to control sonos_set_treble

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_set_treble:

policy.json

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

sonos_set_treble 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.
