WHAT IT DOES

What text_to_speech does on ElevenLabs MCP Enhanced

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

RISK

Why text_to_speech is rated Medium

This tool generates and writes an audio file to the filesystem. It creates new data (an audio file) as a side effect, which is a Write operation. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve financial transactions. Misuse could generate unwanted audio files or consume API quota, hence medium severity.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs text_to_speech safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ElevenLabs MCP Enhanced, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For text_to_speech, this is the rule to start with:

text_to_speech Rate-limited

text_to_speech 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.
