WHAT IT DOES

What start_capture does on Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server

AI agents invoke start_capture to trigger actions in Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why start_capture is rated High

Video capture is an Execute-category action because it initiates an external operation with side effects that persist beyond the tool call—video files are created and stored. While not immediately destructive or financial, the tool can capture sensitive information from the user's environment without clear reversibility, and its effects depend on what the system decides to record.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'start_capture' combined with description 'Start intelligent video capture with predictive moment detection' indicates initiation of a video recording/capture operation.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs start_capture safely

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

start_capture Rate-limited

start_capture 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.

Can I rate-limit start_capture? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the start_capture rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block start_capture completely? +
