update-video

// WHEN AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use update-video to create or modify resources in Pypi: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.

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

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access update-video gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

• Data exfiltration via tool chaining
• Prompt Injection via Tool Results
• Privilege escalation via admin-only tools
