What detach_video_proxy does on Cutpilot
AI agents call detach_video_proxy to permanently remove resources in Cutpilot, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Why detach_video_proxy is rated Critical
The tool can permanently delete a proxy file ('optionally delete only its project-owned proxy file'), which is an irreversible file deletion. While the original media and edits remain untouched, the deletion of the proxy file itself cannot be undone, placing this in the Destructive category. Severity is medium because only a proxy (a derivative/working copy) is deleted, not the original media or project edits.

The rule that runs detach_video_proxy 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 detach_video_proxy, this is the rule to start with:
detach_video_proxy is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Cutpilot, apply this rule, and every detach_video_proxy call is checked against it from then on.
