create_live_event
Create a new live event (MSL live stream). Provide a title and bind it to a Zype Live encoder via video_source_id (or encoder_id / legacy encoder_name). Optionally set the on-air/off-air schedule, archiving behavior, and monetization requirements.

What create_live_event does on Zype Com
AI agents use create_live_event to create or update resources in Zype Com, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Zype Com environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
title | string | Yes | Title of the live event |
on_air_at | string | — | Scheduled on-air time (ISO 8601) |
encoder_id | string | — | Alias for video_source_id — the encoder backing this event |
event_type | string | — | Live event type (e.g. the encoder/streaming mode) |
off_air_at | string | — | Scheduled off-air time (ISO 8601) |
description | string | — | Description of the live event |
auto_archive | boolean | — | Whether to automatically archive the stream to a VOD when it ends |
encoder_name | string | — | Legacy: encoder hostname used to resolve the video source when no ID is given |
rental_price | number | — | Rental price |
pass_required | boolean | — | Whether a pass is required to watch |
purchase_price | number | — | Purchase price |
rental_duration | number | — | Rental duration in hours |

Why create_live_event is rated Medium
An AI agent can call create_live_event faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Zype Com by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

The rule that runs create_live_event safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Zype Com, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_live_event, this is the rule to start with:
create_live_event 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Zype Com, apply this rule, and every create_live_event call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about create_live_event
Create a new live event (MSL live stream). Provide a title and bind it to a Zype Live encoder via video_source_id (or encoder_id / legacy encoder_name). Optionally set the on-air/off-air schedule, archiving behavior, and monetization requirements. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Zype Com MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
create_live_event accepts 12 parameters: title, on_air_at, encoder_id, event_type, off_air_at, description, auto_archive, encoder_name, rental_price, pass_required, purchase_price, rental_duration. Required: title. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Zype Com MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_live_event: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Zype Com. Nothing to install.
create_live_event is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_live_event 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_live_event. 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.
create_live_event is provided by the Zype Com MCP server (zype/zype-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
