track_video_playback

When using this tool, always use the `jq_filter` parameter to reduce the response size and improve performance. Only omit if you're sure you don't need the data. Fetch a standalone WebVTT version of a text track from an asset. # Response Schema ```json { type: 'string' } ```

@mux/mcp Read Risk 2/5

AI agents call track_video_playback to retrieve information from Mux without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though track_video_playback only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

What does the track_video_playback tool do? +

When using this tool, always use the `jq_filter` parameter to reduce the response size and improve performance. Only omit if you're sure you don't need the data. Fetch a standalone WebVTT version of a text track from an asset. # Response Schema ```json { type: 'string' } ```. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Mux MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on track_video_playback? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for track_video_playback. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Mux MCP server.

What risk level is track_video_playback? +

track_video_playback is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit track_video_playback? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the track_video_playback rule in your Intercept 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 track_video_playback completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for track_video_playback. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides track_video_playback? +

track_video_playback is provided by the Mux MCP server (@mux/mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
