THE RISK

High Risk

Calling a vendor request executes an external operation registered by a third-party plugin or vendor. The effects are entirely dependent on what the vendor has registered, which could range from benign reads to destructive actions. Since the outcome is unknown and execution-oriented, Execute is the most appropriate category, with high severity due to the unpredictable blast radius.

HOW TO CONTROL OBS-CALL-VENDOR-REQUEST

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 obs-call-vendor-request:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "obs-call-vendor-request": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "obs-call-vendor-request_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

obs-call-vendor-request stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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