AI agents call remove_user_ratings to permanently remove resources in Trakt — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool name strongly suggests it removes/deletes user ratings from Trakt, which is an irreversible deletion of user data. The description is empty, so confidence is reduced, but the 'remove' prefix paired with sibling tool 'add_user_ratings' (a write tool) suggests this is the inverse destructive operation. Severity is medium as it affects personal preference data but has limited blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name: remove_user_ratings — 'remove' implies deletion of existing user rating data

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Trakt, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for remove_user_ratings:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"remove_user_ratings"
]
}remove_user_ratings disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
