generate-edit-from

Generate edit from multiple videos

Creates new video from sources

Part of the Video Editor MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use generate-edit-from to create or modify resources in Video Editor. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON GENERATE-EDIT-FROM

Without a policy, an AI agent could call generate-edit-from repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach Video Editor.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the generate-edit-from tool do? +

Generate edit from multiple videos. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Video Editor MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate-edit-from? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for generate-edit-from. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Video Editor MCP server.

What risk level is generate-edit-from? +

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

Can I rate-limit generate-edit-from? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate-edit-from rule in your Intercept 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 generate-edit-from completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for generate-edit-from. 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 generate-edit-from? +

generate-edit-from is provided by the Video Editor MCP server (video-editor-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
