The rule that runs multiply_ad 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 multiply_ad, this is the rule to start with:
multiply_ad 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 Hermoso, apply this rule, and every multiply_ad call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about multiply_ad
MULTIPLY a winning video ad into N variants: each gets a NEW character, outfit, location and/or objects while the cut, the camera motion, the pacing and the ORIGINAL AUDIO stay exactly as they were (that is what made the ad work), and any burned-in captions are removed. Pass the source video URL (a previous render, a job result, list_library, or the top performer from post_performance / meta_insights). HOW: the source video itself DRIVES each variant (motion transfer from one image-edited opening frame), so every variant comes back the SAME LENGTH as the source with the same cut, the same performance and the original audio — only the person, outfit, set and props change. Sources up to 30 seconds work as they are; longer ones are refused for free with the way out (trim it first: post_edit with ops [{op:. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Hermoso MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
