AI agents use concat_videos to create or modify resources in Ffmpeg. 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 concat_videos 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 Ffmpeg.

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access concat_videos gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

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

What does the concat_videos tool do? +

Concatenate multiple videos into one. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ffmpeg MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on concat_videos? +

Register the Ffmpeg MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for concat_videos: 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 Ffmpeg. Nothing to install.

What risk level is concat_videos? +

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

Can I rate-limit concat_videos? +

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

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for concat_videos. 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 concat_videos? +

concat_videos is provided by the Ffmpeg MCP server (PedroMarianoAlmeida/ffmpeg-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Ffmpeg tool call.
