How to control extract_video_clip ↓

AI agents invoke extract_video_clip to trigger actions in Noapi Google Search. 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

The tool name implies extracting/processing a video clip, which likely involves running ffmpeg or similar media processing commands. The description is empty, reducing confidence. Based on the server context (headless Chromium, media conversion sibling tool), this likely executes a media extraction operation rather than simply reading data.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'extract_video_clip' and server context mentions 'YouTube transcriptions' and 'convert_media' sibling tool, suggesting media processing operations

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

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

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

extract_video_clip 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 Noapi Google Search — 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.

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the extract_video_clip 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.

How do I block extract_video_clip completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for extract_video_clip. 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.

What MCP server provides extract_video_clip? +
