Why trim_video needs a policy

Trimming is a reversible Write operation—it modifies video data but doesn't destroy the original source. The operation is non-destructive in principle (original file remains intact) and has medium blast radius if misused (corrupted output, time wasted on re-editing).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'trim_video' with empty description. Server context shows video editing operations; trimming modifies video content by removing segments, creating a new edited file.

How to control trim_video

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 trim_video:

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

trim_video 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.
