WHAT IT DOES

What remove_keywords does on Lightroom Classic MCP

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

RISK

Why remove_keywords is rated Medium

Removing keywords modifies metadata on photos reversibly (keywords can be re-added), making this a Write operation. The blast radius is medium as it could affect keyword organization across multiple selected photos, but it does not delete photos or irreversibly destroy data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs remove_keywords safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Lightroom Classic MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For remove_keywords, this is the rule to start with:

remove_keywords Rate-limited

remove_keywords 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.
