`value`	number	Yes	The value to set at this keyframe
`clipId`	string	Yes	The ID of the clip

`componentName`	string	Yes	The display name of the component (e.g., "Motion", "Opacity")

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why add_keyframe is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies project data (keyframes) within Adobe Premiere Pro in a way that can be undone. This fits the Write category: creates new data structures reversibly. It does not execute external code (Execute), permanently delete data (Destructive), or move financial assets (Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Adds a keyframe to a clip component parameter at a specific time.' The verb 'Adds' indicates creation of new data (keyframe metadata). This is a reversible modification to a video project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_keyframe safely

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

add_keyframe Rate-limited

add_keyframe 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.

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "add_keyframe": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_keyframe_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every add_keyframe call is checked against it from then on.
