## Why generate_video is rated Medium

This tool creates a new video asset based on a text prompt. It is a Write operation (content creation) with no indication of code execution, financial transactions, or irreversible deletion. The blast radius is medium because an AI agent could generate large volumes of video content or inappropriate material, but effects are reversible (videos can be deleted).

From the tool's own definition: "'Generate a short-form demo video' from a text prompt — creates new media content"

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches DemoStudio:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_video": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_video_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
