RISK

Why add_marker is rated Medium

Adding markers is a reversible write operation that modifies the project state by inserting navigational or notational elements. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or trigger financial transactions. While it modifies the timeline structure, markers are non-destructive metadata that can be removed or edited.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_marker' combined with description 'Adds a marker to the timeline for notes' indicates creation of metadata/annotations within Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a modification operation that creates new data (markers) within the project timeline.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_marker 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_marker, this is the rule to start with:

add_marker Rate-limited

add_marker 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_marker": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "add_marker_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_marker call is checked against it from then on.
