WHAT IT DOES

What list_videos does on Mcptube Vision

AI agents call list_videos to retrieve information from Mcptube Vision without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why list_videos is rated Low

This tool retrieves and lists existing video metadata from the library. It performs a read-only operation that does not modify, delete, execute, or move resources. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent querying the list gains visibility into available videos but cannot alter them. Severity is low because listing is informational only.

From the tool's definition Tool is named 'list_videos' and described as 'List all videos in the library.' This is a query/retrieval operation with no side effects.

list_videos Allowed

list_videos is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
