WHAT IT DOES

What relink_asset does on Cutpilot

AI agents use relink_asset 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 relink_asset is rated Medium

Relinking an asset in a video editing context means updating a reference to point to a different source file or resource. This is a modification operation that changes project state but is reversible (can be undone or relinked again). While it affects project composition, it does not irreversibly destroy data, execute arbitrary commands, or move money.

From the tool's definition 'Safely replace one asset' — the tool modifies an asset by substituting it with another, which is a reversible data modification operation typical of Write category actions.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs relink_asset 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 relink_asset, this is the rule to start with:

relink_asset Rate-limited

relink_asset 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 relink_asset call is checked against it from then on.
