Retrieves a clip by ID. Raises ValueError if not found.
AI agents call get_clip to retrieve information from vidMagik-mcp without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a simple data retrieval operation - fetching an existing clip by identifier. It has no capability to modify, delete, execute external operations, or affect system state. The only risk is potential unauthorized information disclosure if access controls are inadequate, which is a standard read-operation concern and typically low-severity in a video editing context.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_clip' and description 'Retrieves a clip by ID' indicate a query/lookup operation with no modification or side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Retrieves a clip by ID. Raises ValueError if not found. It is categorised as a Read tool in the vidMagik-mcp MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the vidMagik- MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_clip: 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 vidMagik-mcp. Nothing to install.
get_clip 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_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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_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.
get_clip is provided by the vidMagik- MCP server (vizionik25/vidmagik-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
