What download_video does on VideoGen Advisor

AI agents call download_video to retrieve information from VideoGen Advisor without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why download_video needs a policy

This tool retrieves a download URL for video content—a read operation that queries data without side effects. While it provides access to generated video files, the tool itself only returns a URL pointer and does not execute code, modify data, delete resources, or commit financial transactions. The prerequisite to call get_video_status first indicates safe sequencing rather than dangerous capability.

From the tool's definition Tool "downloads" a URL for completed video content. Description states "Get the download URL", which is a retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution of external operations.
