WHAT IT DOES

What pt_upload_video does on Crow

AI agents use pt_upload_video to create or update resources in Crow, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Crow environment.

RISK

Why pt_upload_video is rated Medium

This tool creates new video content in a channel—a reversible write operation. While uploads consume resources (RAM for transcoding) and have rate limits, they don't irreversibly delete data (Destructive), move money (Financial), or execute arbitrary code (Execute). The blast radius is medium: excessive uploads could degrade service or fill storage, but the operation is reversible via deletion.

From the tool's definition Tool description states "Upload a video file" with required parameters for file upload, indicating file creation/modification. Rate limiting and transcoding effects demonstrate side effects that modify the target system.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs pt_upload_video safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Crow, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For pt_upload_video, this is the rule to start with:

pt_upload_video Rate-limited

pt_upload_video stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
