Why get_episodes needs a policy

This tool retrieves episode information from the Bangumi TV database—a read-only operation with no side effects. It follows the pattern of other data retrieval tools on this server. Even if misused by an agent, it can only query publicly available anime/manga episode metadata, presenting minimal security risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_episodes' combined with the server context of the Bangumi TV API for retrieving anime/manga information strongly indicates this retrieves episode data.

How to control get_episodes

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_episodes": {}
  }
}

get_episodes is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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