Generate a video using WaveSpeed AI.

How to control generate_video ↓

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

Medium Risk

An AI agent can call generate_video faster than any human can review — one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in WavespeedMCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

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

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_video": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "generate_video_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

generate_video stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register WavespeedMCP — 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.
