Concatenate operations create new video files by combining existing ones, which is a reversible write operation. While the tool description is empty, the name and server context clearly indicate data modification rather than deletion or code execution. Severity is medium because misuse could consume storage or create unwanted video files, but operations are reversible and don't cause data loss or financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'concatenate_videos' indicates combining multiple video files. Server description emphasizes FFmpeg-based editing capabilities.

How to control concatenate_videos

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 concatenate_videos:

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

concatenate_videos 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.
