What clone_video does on Hermoso
AI agents call clone_video to retrieve information from Hermoso without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why clone_video is rated Low
Even though clone_video only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs clone_video safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Hermoso, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For clone_video, this is the rule to start with:
clone_video is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Hermoso, apply this rule, and every clone_video call is checked against it from then on.
