RISK

Why apply_audio_effect is rated Medium

Applying an audio effect modifies the clip's properties by adding/changing an effect, which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code, and effects can typically be removed.

apply_audio_effect Rate-limited

apply_audio_effect 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.
