WHAT IT DOES

What create_track does on Cutpilot

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

RISK

Why create_track is rated Medium

The tool creates a new track (a structural element in video editing) but does not execute code, delete data, or perform financial transactions. Track creation is reversible—tracks can be removed or their contents modified. Severity is medium because misuse could affect video project structure, but the effects are contained to the editing workspace and can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_track' and description 'Create an explicitly named video or audio track at a type-relative stack position' indicate creation of a new track object within a video editing project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_track safely

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

create_track Rate-limited

create_track 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.
