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

Generate an AI-powered Video Overview for a notebook. ## What This Tool Does - Opens the Studio panel in NotebookLM - Generates a visual video summary of notebook content - Supports multiple visual styles and formats - Generation takes 3-10 minutes typically - Returns immediately with status (check with get_video_status) ## Visual Styles - **auto-select** — Let NotebookLM choose the best style (default) - **custom** — Custom visual style - **classic** — Classic presentation style - **whiteboard** — Hand-drawn whiteboard style - **kawaii** — Cute kawaii style - **anime** — Anime-inspired visuals - **watercolour** — Watercolour painting style - **retro-print** — Retro print aesthetic - **heritage** — Heritage/traditional style - **paper-craft** — Paper-craft visual style ## Formats - **explainer** — Full explanation (5-15 min, default) - **brief** — Quick summary (1-3 min) ## Requirements - Notebook must have at least one source - Authentication required (run setup_auth first) ## Example ```json { "notebook_id": "my-research", "style": "documentary", "format": "brief" } ```. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Notebooklm 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 generate_video_overview. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Notebooklm MCP server.
generate_video_overview 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 generate_video_overview 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 generate_video_overview. 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.
generate_video_overview is provided by the Notebooklm MCP server (@pan-sec/notebooklm-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
