WHAT IT DOES

What generate_video does on MeiGen AI Design MCP

AI agents invoke generate_video to trigger actions in MeiGen AI Design MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

THE RISK

High Risk

Why generate_video needs a policy

This tool triggers an external AI video generation operation on the MeiGen platform. It executes a compute-intensive external process whose output depends on the provided arguments (text prompts, images, reference video). It is not a simple write/create of local data — it invokes an external service/API to run AI inference.

POLICY

How to control generate_video

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MeiGen AI Design MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for generate_video:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_video": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_video_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_video stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

It is categorised as a Execute tool in the MeiGen AI Design MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_video? +

Register the MeiGen AI Design MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for generate_video: 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 MeiGen AI Design MCP. Nothing to install.

What risk level is generate_video? +

generate_video is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit generate_video? +

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

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

generate_video is provided by the MeiGen AI Design MCP server (jau123/meigen-ai-design-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
