Why generate_image_to_video needs a policy

This tool triggers an external AI video generation operation using Kling AI's services, consuming computational resources and potentially API credits. It executes an external process whose effects depend on the input image and parameters. It's not purely destructive or financial, but it does trigger a real external operation beyond simple data writes.

POLICY

How to control generate_image_to_video

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_image_to_video": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_image_to_video_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_image_to_video stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MCP Kling — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
