MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous WAVE MCP Server tools

Execute · Medium wave_start_captions This tool triggers an external service (real-time transcription/captioning) on a stream, making it an Execute action rather than a simple Read. Execute · Medium wave_start_stream This tool executes a command that initiates a streaming operation, which is an irreversible real-time action affecting external systems. Execute · High wave_stop_stream This tool performs a real-time operational action that stops an active stream—a live broadcast with viewers and ongoing production activity. Execute · High wave_switch_camera This tool triggers an external real-time operation that changes what is broadcast to live viewers.

10 of WAVE MCP Server's 18 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control WAVE MCP Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and WAVE MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "wave_create_clip": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "wave_create_clip_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "wave_get_stream_health": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "wave_get_stream_health_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.

Add these rules — paste them, or build them visually. Tune the limits to your setup.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

FAQ

Questions about WAVE MCP Server

How do I prevent bulk modifications through WAVE MCP Server? +

The WAVE MCP Server server has 4 write tools including wave_create_clip, wave_create_production, wave_create_stream. Set a rate limit in your policy -- for example, 10 calls per hour prevents an agent from making more than 10 modifications per hour. PolicyLayer enforces this at the gateway, before calls reach WAVE MCP Server.

How many tools does the WAVE MCP Server MCP server expose? +

18 tools across 3 categories: Execute, Read, Write. 8 are read-only. 10 can modify, create, or delete data.

How do I enforce a policy on WAVE MCP Server? +

Register the WAVE MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer, apply the suggested rules above (adjust the limits to your use case), and point your AI client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL instead of the server directly. Your agents keep the same tools; PolicyLayer evaluates every call against policy before it executes. Nothing to install, live in minutes.

Enforce policy on every WAVE MCP Server tool call.

Deterministic rules across all 18 WAVE MCP Server tools. Per-identity grants. Full audit log. Live in minutes. Nothing to install.
