WHAT IT DOES

What add_to_render_queue does on Adobe Premiere Pro

AI agents invoke add_to_render_queue to trigger actions in Adobe Premiere Pro. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`outputPath`	string	Yes	Output file path
`presetName`	string	—	Exact user preset display name or filename stem. Must resolve to exactly one discovered .epr preset.
`presetPath`	string	—	Export preset file path
`sequenceId`	string	Yes	The ID of the sequence to render
`sourceRange`	string	—	Export source range. Defaults to entire.
`allowOverwrite`	boolean	—	Allow writing to an existing output file. Defaults to false.
`startImmediately`	boolean	—	Whether to start rendering immediately (default: false)
`removeOnCompletion`	boolean	—	Pass AME removeOnCompletion. Defaults to true.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why add_to_render_queue is rated High

This tool triggers an external operation in Adobe Media Encoder by submitting a sequence to its render queue. It doesn't merely write data reversibly — it initiates an external process/operation in a separate application. The blast radius is medium: misuse could cause unintended renders consuming significant CPU/disk resources, but it doesn't delete data or move money.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_to_render_queue 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_to_render_queue, this is the rule to start with:

add_to_render_queue Rate-limited

add_to_render_queue stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-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_to_render_queue call is checked against it from then on.
