What change_video_speed does on Video & Audio Editing MCP Server

Medium Risk

Why change_video_speed needs a policy

The tool modifies video properties (playback speed) which is a Write operation—it changes existing data reversibly. An AI agent could misuse it to alter video content in unauthorized ways, but the operation can be undone by re-encoding at normal speed. Severity is medium because misuse affects content integrity and could degrade quality through repeated encoding, but doesn't destroy data or execute arbitrary code.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'change_video_speed' and sibling tools like 'add_b_roll', 'add_text_overlay', 'concatenate_videos' indicate reversible media manipulation.

How to control change_video_speed

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_video_speed:

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

change_video_speed 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.
