List all videos in the system.
AI agents call list_videos 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.
This tool retrieves and enumerates video metadata from the system without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a straightforward query/list operation typical of Read category tools. The severity is low because listing videos poses minimal risk even if misused by an agent—it only exposes what videos exist in the system without enabling side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_videos' and description states 'List all videos in the system' - a pure retrieval operation with no modification, deletion, or execution capability.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
List all videos in the system. 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 list_videos: 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.
list_videos 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 list_videos 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 list_videos. 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.
list_videos 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.
list_videos is one line of MCP Video Parser's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
