MCP tool: unhide a show to restore it in recommendations.
AI agents use unhide_show_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.
This tool modifies a user's recommendation preferences by restoring a previously hidden show. It is a reversible write operation (the show can be hidden again), with minimal blast radius as it only affects personal recommendation visibility on Trakt.tv.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access unhide_show_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_show_recommendation:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"unhide_show_recommendation": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "unhide_show_recommendation_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}unhide_show_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.
