What duplicate_scene does on Livepilot
AI agents use duplicate_scene to create or update resources in Livepilot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Livepilot environment.
Why duplicate_scene is rated Medium
Duplicating a scene creates a new copy of existing data (all clip slots), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete or overwrite existing data, nor does it execute code or involve financial transactions. The blast radius is medium since misuse could clutter the arrangement but is easily undone.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs duplicate_scene safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Livepilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For duplicate_scene, this is the rule to start with:
duplicate_scene 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Livepilot, apply this rule, and every duplicate_scene call is checked against it from then on.

Duplicate a scene (copies all clip slots). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Livepilot MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Livepilot MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for duplicate_scene: 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 Livepilot. Nothing to install.
duplicate_scene is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the duplicate_scene 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 duplicate_scene. 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.
duplicate_scene is provided by the Livepilot MCP server (livepilot). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
