simulator_add_media

Add photos or videos to the simulator's camera roll from local file paths.

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

// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents use simulator_add_media to create or modify resources in Preflight Ios. 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 SIMULATOR_ADD_MEDIA

Without a policy, an AI agent could call simulator_add_media 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 Preflight Ios.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

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

What does the simulator_add_media tool do? +

Add photos or videos to the simulator's camera roll from local file paths.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Preflight Ios MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on simulator_add_media? +

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

What risk level is simulator_add_media? +

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

Can I rate-limit simulator_add_media? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the simulator_add_media 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 simulator_add_media completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for simulator_add_media. 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 simulator_add_media? +

simulator_add_media is provided by the Preflight Ios MCP server (preflight-ios-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
