WHAT IT DOES

What set_transition does on Cutpilot

AI agents use set_transition 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 set_transition is rated Medium

This tool modifies a timeline item by applying a transition effect between clips. It creates/updates a transition property on an item boundary, which is a reversible write operation within a video editing project. No data is deleted, no code is executed, and no financial transactions occur.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_transition Rate-limited

set_transition 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.
