List all available transcripts in the output directory
AI agents call list_transcripts to retrieve information from Video Transcriber MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads/queries data from the output directory to display available transcripts. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute external operations, delete resources, or handle financial transactions. It is a pure information retrieval operation, fitting the 'Read' category with low severity.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_transcripts' and description 'List all available transcripts in the output directory' indicate a query operation that retrieves and enumerates existing transcripts without modification, creation, or deletion.

List all available transcripts in the output directory. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Video Transcriber MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Video Transcriber MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_transcripts: 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 Transcriber MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_transcripts is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_transcripts 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 list_transcripts. 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.
list_transcripts is provided by the Video Transcriber MCP Server MCP server (nhatvu148/video-transcriber-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
