stitch_video
Render a multi-scene STITCHED video (≥2 scenes) — ONLY for spots LONGER than ONE clip of the chosen model. A multi-beat ad that FITS one clip renders better and cheaper as ONE single-pass generate_video/render_ad (a single generation carries the whole hook->demo->payoff arc) — never stitch those....

What stitch_video does on Hermoso
AI agents call stitch_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 stitch_video is rated Low
Even though stitch_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 stitch_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 stitch_video, this is the rule to start with:
stitch_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 stitch_video call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about stitch_video
Render a multi-scene STITCHED video (≥2 scenes) — ONLY for spots LONGER than ONE clip of the chosen model. A multi-beat ad that FITS one clip renders better and cheaper as ONE single-pass generate_video/render_ad (a single generation carries the whole hook->demo->payoff arc) — never stitch those. What fits is the model’s own maximum from hermoso_capabilities, not a fixed number: 15s on most models, 30s on the longest-clip one, so a 30s spot need not be stitched at all if you name that model. Blocks until done. Spends credits. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Hermoso MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Hermoso MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for stitch_video: 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 Hermoso. Nothing to install.
stitch_video is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stitch_video 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for stitch_video. 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.
stitch_video is provided by the Hermoso MCP server (https://app.hermoso.ai/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
