Why pt_list_videos needs a policy

This tool retrieves and enumerates video data from a video-sharing platform. It performs a read-only query operation across different scopes without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing anything. The rate limit (60/hour) is a safety measure typical of read operations. No destructive, financial, or execution risks are present.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'pt_list_videos' and description 'List videos' indicate data retrieval with no modification or side effects. The scope options (local, federated, subscriptions) are query parameters that determine what data to retrieve, not actions that alter state.

How to control pt_list_videos

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "pt_list_videos": {}
  }
}

pt_list_videos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Crow — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
