unhide_movie_recommendation

MCP tool: unhide a movie to restore it in recommendations.

How to control unhide_movie_recommendation ↓

AI agents use unhide_movie_recommendation to create or update resources in Trakt — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Trakt environment.

Medium Risk

This tool reverses a previously hidden state for a movie recommendation, restoring it in the recommendations list. It modifies user preference data (reversibly, since it undoes a hide action) without deleting anything permanently. The blast radius is minimal — it only affects the user's personal recommendation visibility.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unhide_movie_recommendation gives an agent:

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 unhide_movie_recommendation:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "unhide_movie_recommendation": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "unhide_movie_recommendation_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

unhide_movie_recommendation 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Trakt — 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.
