Why seedance_create_task needs a policy

This tool creates a new video generation task via an external API. It writes/submits a task but does not execute code or delete data. The main risk is unintended API usage and potential cost implications from task submissions, but it doesn't directly move money or irreversibly destroy data.

How to control seedance_create_task

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Seedance 2, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for seedance_create_task:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "seedance_create_task": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "seedance_create_task_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

seedance_create_task 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Seedance 2 — 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.
