Search in twelvelabs videos using natural language descriptions. The twelvelabs platform interprets your query to find matching content based on visual elements, actions, sounds, and on-screen text. The search is performed on all videos in the index (or the default index if no index is provided)....

AI agents call search to retrieve information from Twelvelabs Mcp Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though search only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

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

Search in twelvelabs videos using natural language descriptions. The twelvelabs platform interprets your query to find matching content based on visual elements, actions, sounds, and on-screen text. The search is performed on all videos in the index (or the default index if no index is provided). It will return the start and end time of the matching segments in the video. The search results include: - Filename and videoId for each matching video - user_metadata (if any was attached during indexing) - Thumbnail URLs for each segment (pre-signed S3 URLs, valid for 1 hour) - Start/end times and relevance rank for each segment For each video that has matching segments, you should display: - Filename of the video - user_metadata key-value pairs - A table of segments with rank, timecode, and a clickable hyperlink for the thumbnail (do NOT use markdown image syntax, use a text hyperlink like [View thumbnail](url) instead). Supports three search modes: - Text only: provide just a query string - Image only: provide queryMediaUrl or queryMediaFile with queryMediaType "image" - Composed (text + image): provide both query and an image (via URL or file path) for refined results (e.g. image of a car + "red color"). Requires Marengo 3.0. For entity search, include the entity ID in the query using the format: "<@entity_id> action description". It is categorised as a Read tool in the Twelvelabs Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Twelvelabs Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for search: 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 Twelvelabs Mcp Server. Nothing to install.
search is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the search 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 search. 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.
search is provided by the Twelvelabs Mcp Server MCP server (https://mcp.twelvelabs.io). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
