 When you extract video frames on the client side and send them as `video/jpeg` (base64-concatenated JPEG frames), you can preserve the original video metadata by using `media_io_kwargs` in your request. This enables more accurate video understanding by preserving temporal information that would otherwise be lost during client-side frame extraction.
 
+!!! warning
+    Per-request `media_io_kwargs` (and `mm_processor_kwargs`) are rejected by
+    default because they let a client change media loading and preprocessing
+    resource usage. Start the server with `--trust-request-mm-kwargs` only when
+    your API clients are trusted; see
+    [Per-request multimodal arguments](../usage/security.md#per-request-multimodal-arguments).
