media is read-only, but an agent in a loop can still rack up calls and cost. PolicyLayer caps every call before it runs. Live in minutes.

AI agents call media to retrieve information from Oculo without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.

Even though media only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.

Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access media gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so media only ever does what you allow.

What does the media tool do? +

Generate images (Nano Banana / DALL-E 3) or videos (Veo 3.1) via Oculo browser.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Oculo MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on media? +

Register the Oculo MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for media: 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 Oculo. Nothing to install.

What risk level is media? +

media is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit media? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the media 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.

How do I block media completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for media. 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.

What MCP server provides media? +

media is provided by the Oculo MCP server (xidik12/oculo). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Oculo tool call.
