What flow_generate_video does on Google Flow Browser MCP

AI agents invoke flow_generate_video to trigger actions in Google Flow Browser MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

High Risk

Why flow_generate_video needs a policy

The tool performs browser automation actions (filling forms, selecting models, configuring settings) that constitute external operations, placing it in Execute. It stops short of the final Generate click, which would be a Financial action, but the setup automation itself is an Execute-level action. Severity is medium because it stops before committing costs, but it does interact with an external paid service's UI.

From the tool's definition 'Set up a video generation in Google Flow. Fills prompt, selects Omni Flash or Veo model, configures settings.' and 'stops at ready-to-generate' — triggers browser automation actions (filling prompts, selecting models, configuring settings) without completing…

How to control flow_generate_video

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Google Flow Browser MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for flow_generate_video:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "flow_generate_video": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "flow_generate_video_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

flow_generate_video 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.

  1. Create a free account and register Google Flow Browser 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.
