AI agents use generate_video to create or modify resources in Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities. 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 generate_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 Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities.

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

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so generate_video only ever does what you allow.

What does the generate_video tool do? +

[SPEND: 5 USDC] Generate a short-form video from a prompt or URL. Costs 5 USDC (Base/Ethereum/Polygon/Solana via x402). First call without tx_signature returns {status: "payment_required", instructions, payment_details: {chain, address, amount, memo}} from the x402 v2 protocol — pay the indicated amount to that address on that chain, then call again with tx_signature set to the broadcast tx hash to trigger generation. Returns a session_id to poll with check_video_status. Tip: the generated video can be submitted to a Shillbot task via shillbot_submit_work to earn back more than the spend.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities 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_video? +

Register the Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_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 Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate_video? +

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

Can I rate-limit generate_video? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_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.

How do I block generate_video completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for generate_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.

What MCP server provides generate_video? +

generate_video is provided by the Swarm Tips — Aggregated AI Agent Activities MCP server (https://mcp.swarm.tips/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
