Part of the Opencut Controller MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents use media_add_file to create or modify resources in Opencut Controller. 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 media_add_file 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 Opencut Controller.
Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

Add a local file as a media asset to the project by clicking the upload area. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Opencut Controller MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for media_add_file. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Opencut Controller MCP server.
media_add_file 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 media_add_file 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.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for media_add_file. 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.
media_add_file is provided by the Opencut Controller MCP server (opencut-controller). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
