Get storage and processing statistics.
AI agents call get_video_stats to retrieve information from MCP Video Parser without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool performs a retrieval operation on statistics data. It has no side effects, does not execute code or external operations, and cannot delete or modify data. Storage and processing statistics are informational metadata with no blast radius if queried inappropriately by an AI agent.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_video_stats' and description states 'Get storage and processing statistics.' This retrieves metadata about video storage and processing without modifying, executing operations, or deleting data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get storage and processing statistics. It is categorised as a Read tool in the MCP Video Parser MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the MCP Video Parser MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_video_stats: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches MCP Video Parser. Nothing to install.
get_video_stats is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_video_stats rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_video_stats. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_video_stats is provided by the MCP Video Parser MCP server (michaelbaker-dev/mcpvideoparser). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
