## 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 own 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."

## Use case

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.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)
