Why meta_create_live_video needs a policy

This tool creates and publishes new content (live video broadcasts) to Facebook Pages, which is a Write operation—it creates data and modifies page state reversibly (live videos can be taken down or archived). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money, so it does not qualify as Execute, Destructive, or Financial.

From the tool's definition Tool creates a live video broadcast on Facebook Pages and returns stream URL and live video ID. Description explicitly states 'Creates a live video broadcast' with options to schedule or publish immediately.

How to control meta_create_live_video

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Meta MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for meta_create_live_video:

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

meta_create_live_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.

  1. Create a free account and register Meta MCP Server — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
