Detect scenes in a clip. Returns list of timestamps.
AI agents call tools_detect_scenes 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 scene detection analysis on video clips and returns structured data (timestamps). It is a read-only operation that retrieves information about video structure without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing arbitrary code. The analyzed data could inform downstream operations, but the tool itself has no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'tools_detect_scenes' and description 'Detect scenes in a clip. Returns list of timestamps.' indicate a query operation that analyzes video content and returns data without modifying, executing external operations, or causing side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Detect scenes in a clip. Returns list of timestamps. 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 tools_detect_scenes: 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.
tools_detect_scenes 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 tools_detect_scenes 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 tools_detect_scenes. 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.
tools_detect_scenes 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.
