获取视频信息，包括时长，帧率，codec等 参数: video_path (str): 输入视频文件路径 返回: 视频详细信息
AI agents call get_video_info to retrieve information from FFmpeg-MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This is a straightforward metadata query operation. It reads properties from an existing video file without side effects, making it a Read category tool. Severity is low because misuse cannot cause harm—at worst, an agent could read information about videos, which poses minimal risk. Confidence is high given the explicit statement that it retrieves video properties.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves video metadata ('获取视频信息，包括时长，帧率，codec等' = 'Get video information, including duration, frame rate, codec, etc.'). The parameter is a read-only input (video_path) and the return value is informational (视频详细信息 = 'video detailed information').
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_video_info gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and FFmpeg-MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_video_info:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_video_info": {}
}
}get_video_info is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

获取视频信息，包括时长，帧率，codec等 参数: video_path (str): 输入视频文件路径 返回: 视频详细信息. It is categorised as a Read tool in the FFmpeg-MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the FFmpeg-MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_video_info: 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 FFmpeg-MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_video_info is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_video_info 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 get_video_info. 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.
get_video_info is provided by the FFmpeg-MCP Server MCP server (video-creator/ffmpeg-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
