Questions about create_live_event

What does the create_live_event tool do? +

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.

What parameters does create_live_event accept? +

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.

How do I enforce a policy on create_live_event? +

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.

What risk level is create_live_event? +

create_live_event is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_live_event? +

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.

How do I block create_live_event completely? +

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.

What MCP server provides create_live_event? +

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.
