How to control bottube_upload ↓

AI agents use bottube_upload to create or update resources in RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your RustChain + BoTTube MCP Server environment.

Medium Risk

Upload operations create and persist new data on the platform (video content). This is a Write operation—data is created/added reversibly without deletion or financial impact. Severity is high due to potential for malicious content distribution, spam, or abuse of the platform through automated uploads, though the empty description reduces confidence that upload is the only function.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'bottube_upload' indicates file/content upload functionality to the BoTTube video platform. The server description explicitly mentions 'interacting with AI-generated content' and the tool name suggests creating/uploading new content.

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

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

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

bottube_upload 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 RustChain + BoTTube 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.
