What generate_text_to_video does on RunwayML + Luma AI MCP Server

AI agents invoke generate_text_to_video to trigger actions in RunwayML + Luma AI MCP Server. 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

Why generate_text_to_video needs a policy

This tool triggers an external AI generation operation (video creation) on third-party APIs. It is an Execute category because it initiates an external computational process whose effects depend on the input arguments. Severity is high because misuse could result in significant API costs, generation of harmful or inappropriate content, and unintended consumption of rate-limited or paid API resources at scale.

How to control generate_text_to_video

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

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

generate_text_to_video 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 RunwayML + Luma AI MCP Server — 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.
