WHAT IT DOES

What afx_multiply_volume does on vidMagik-mcp

AI agents use afx_multiply_volume to create or update resources in vidMagik-mcp — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your vidMagik-mcp environment.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why afx_multiply_volume needs a policy

This tool adjusts the volume of an audio clip by a multiplier factor. It modifies audio data reversibly (the original can be restored by applying the inverse factor), making it a Write operation. The blast radius is low as it only affects audio levels within a video editing context.

From the tool's definition Multiply volume — modifies audio volume level of a clip
