Creates a new scene in OBS. Args: scene_name: Name of the scene to create
AI agents use create_scene to create or update resources in OBS MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your OBS MCP Server environment.
This tool creates a new scene object in OBS Studio, which is a reversible operation (scenes can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, move money, or retrieve sensitive information. The blast radius is minimal since creating unused scenes has no impact on active broadcasts or recordings and can be easily undone.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Creates a new scene in OBS' with argument 'scene_name: Name of the scene to create'. The verb 'creates' indicates reversible data modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_scene gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and OBS MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for create_scene:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_scene": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_scene_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_scene 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.

Creates a new scene in OBS. Args: scene_name: Name of the scene to create. It is categorised as a Write tool in the OBS MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the OBS MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_scene: 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 OBS MCP Server. Nothing to install.
create_scene is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_scene 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 create_scene. 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.
create_scene is provided by the OBS MCP Server MCP server (royshil/obs-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
