Why generate_video_title needs a policy

Generating a video title is a Write operation because it creates new data (a suggested title string) that could be used to modify video metadata. However, the severity is low because: (1) the tool only generates a suggestion and does not directly modify YouTube content, (2) the output is reversible—a generated title can be discarded or replaced, and (3) there is no destructive, financial, or execution risk.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Genera un título para un video de YouTube' (generates a title for a YouTube video), which is a content creation/modification operation.

How to control generate_video_title

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

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

generate_video_title 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.
