WHAT IT DOES

What text_to_speech_with_timestamps does on Typecast API MCP Server

AI agents invoke text_to_speech_with_timestamps to trigger actions in Typecast API MCP Server. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why text_to_speech_with_timestamps needs a policy

This tool executes an external text-to-speech operation via the Typecast API, producing audio output with timing metadata. It is not a simple read (it generates new content) nor purely a write (it triggers processing/rendering). It falls under Execute as it runs an external operation whose output depends on input arguments.

From the tool's definition 'Convert text to speech with word- or character-level timestamp alignment' — triggers an external TTS operation that synthesizes audio and generates timestamp data
