This tool retrieves and returns video search results from Google without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It is a read-only query operation with minimal blast radius if misused—an agent could only retrieve video search results, with no side effects on data or systems.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'search_google_videos' and description indicate it performs searches and returns video results (视频列表、视频轮播或短视频 = video list, video carousel, or short videos). The action is retrieval/query with no modification, deletion, or external execution.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access search_google_videos gives an agent:

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "search_google_videos": {}
  }
}

search_google_videos is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register searchAPI-mcp — 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.
