WHAT IT DOES

What select_take does on Aos

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

RISK

Why select_take is rated Medium

Selecting a take modifies the active/current state of a clip or composition.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs select_take safely

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

select_take Rate-limited

select_take 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.

How do I enforce a policy on select_take? +

What risk level is select_take? +

Can I rate-limit select_take? +

How do I block select_take completely? +
