Changes the aspect ratio of a video, using padding or cropping.
AI agents use change_aspect_ratio to create or update resources in Video & Audio Editing MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Video & Audio Editing MCP Server environment.
This tool performs a media transformation operation that modifies video dimensions and composition. While it changes the visual content through cropping or padding, the operation is reversible (the original file can be retained and regenerated). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or create financial obligations.
From the tool's definition The tool 'change_aspect_ratio' modifies video properties by applying padding or cropping, which alters the video file structure. This is a reversible modification operation that creates a transformed output without permanently destroying data.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Video & Audio Editing MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for change_aspect_ratio:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"change_aspect_ratio": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "change_aspect_ratio_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}change_aspect_ratio 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.

Changes the aspect ratio of a video, using padding or cropping. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Video & Audio Editing MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Video & Audio Editing MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for change_aspect_ratio: 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 Video & Audio Editing MCP Server. Nothing to install.
change_aspect_ratio is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the change_aspect_ratio 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 change_aspect_ratio. 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.
change_aspect_ratio is provided by the Video & Audio Editing MCP Server MCP server (misbahsy/video-audio-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
