Medium Risk

Why video_download needs a policy

This tool downloads video content from external platforms and writes it to local storage. It creates new files on the system (Write), but does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because it could be misused to download large amounts of content or potentially infringing material, but the blast radius is limited.

How to control video_download

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

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

video_download 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.
