Medium Risk

generate_video

Creates a video project using the json2video API. Each project can contain multiple scenes, and each scene can contain various elements such as text, images, video, audio, components, HTML, voice, audiogram, and subtitles. See https://json2video.com/docs/api/ for full schema.

Handles credentials or secrets (apiKey); High parameter count (21 properties)

Part of the Json2video MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use generate_video to create or modify resources in Json2video. 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 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 Json2video.

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

What does the generate_video tool do? +

Creates a video project using the json2video API. Each project can contain multiple scenes, and each scene can contain various elements such as text, images, video, audio, components, HTML, voice, audiogram, and subtitles. See https://json2video.com/docs/api/ for full schema.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Json2video MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on generate_video? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for generate_video. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Json2video MCP server.

What risk level is generate_video? +

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

Can I rate-limit generate_video? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the generate_video 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.

How do I block generate_video completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept 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 Json2video MCP server (@omerrgocmen/json2video-mcp). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
