## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "video_concat",
    "arguments": {
      "inputs": []
    }
  }
}
```

## Why video_concat is rated Medium

This tool creates a new output file by combining existing video inputs. The source files are not deleted or modified — it is a creation/write operation. The original files remain intact, making this reversible (you can delete the output). Severity is medium because it operates on potentially large media files and could consume significant disk space or be misused to reassemble sensitive video content.

From the tool's own definition: "Stitches multiple videos end-to-end, in order, into one NEW file"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Local:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "video_concat": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "video_concat_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
