What import_subtitles does on Cutpilot
AI agents use import_subtitles 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.
Why import_subtitles is rated Medium
This tool creates or adds subtitle data to an active timeline, modifying the video editing project reversibly. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or perform financial operations. While it modifies project state, the changes can be undone in a typical video editing workflow.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Import a local SRT, WebVTT, or ASS subtitle file into the active editable timeline.' The word 'import' indicates data creation/addition into the timeline, which modifies the project state.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs import_subtitles 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 import_subtitles, this is the rule to start with:
import_subtitles 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 Cutpilot, apply this rule, and every import_subtitles call is checked against it from then on.
