## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "generate_video",
    "arguments": {}

```

## Why generate_video is rated Critical

While the primary action is creating content (Write), the presence of account balance and resource package management tools strongly indicates this operation consumes paid credits. Misuse by an AI agent could rapidly deplete financial resources, making Financial the most severe applicable category. Each video generation call likely incurs a monetary cost.

From the tool's own definition: "Generate a video from text prompt using Kling AI — video generation on Kling AI consumes credits/tokens that have real financial cost, as evidenced by sibling tools 'get_account_balance' and 'get_resource_packages' indicating a paid usage model"

## Use case

AI agents use generate_video to commit financial operations through MCP Kling, usually the final step of a payment, billing, or trading workflow. A call moves real money.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Approval-gated**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches MCP Kling:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_video": {
      "deny_if": [
        {
          "conditions": [],
          "on_deny": "Requires human approval."
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
