WHAT IT DOES

What create_project does on Clipkit

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

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`width`	integer	—	Composition width in pixels. Default 1920.
`height`	integer	—	Composition height in pixels. Default 1080.
`duration`	number	—	Composition duration in seconds. Default 10.
`frame_rate`	number	—	Frame rate. Default 30.
`project_id`	string	—	Which project to act on — the id returned by create_project / set_project / create_promo / load_project. Omit when working on a single local project.
`output_dither`	object	—	Anti-banding output dither — DEFAULT ON, leave unset. Pass false for byte-exact undithered output, or { amplitude, pattern } to tune. Stops gradients / soft sha
`output_format`	string	—	Output container/codec. Default "mp4".
`background_color`	string	—	Hex color, e.g. "#000000".

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why create_project is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies project state by initializing a new blank project or resetting an existing one to blank. These are reversible write operations—projects can be deleted or modified later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or perform external side effects beyond the video editing system itself.

From the tool's definition Creates a new Clipkit project with specified dimensions and duration, or resets an existing project to blank state. The verb 'create' combined with project initialization and the ability to reset existing projects indicates data creation/modification.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs create_project safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Clipkit, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_project, this is the rule to start with:

create_project Rate-limited

create_project 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.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",

    "create_project": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "create_project_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Clipkit, apply this rule, and every create_project call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about create_project

What does the create_project tool do? +

Create a new, blank Clipkit project with the given dimensions and duration, and return its project_id. Defaults: 1920×1080, 10 seconds, 30 fps, output_format "mp4". Call this first when starting a new video. Pass an existing project_id to reset that project to blank; omit it to start a fresh project (note the returned id for subsequent tools). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Clipkit MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does create_project accept? +

create_project accepts 8 parameters: width, height, duration, frame_rate, project_id, output_dither, output_format, background_color. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on create_project? +

Register the Clipkit MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_project: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Clipkit. Nothing to install.

What risk level is create_project? +

create_project is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit create_project? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_project rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block create_project completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_project. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides create_project? +

create_project is provided by the Clipkit MCP server (https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
