RISK

Why add_track is rated Medium

This tool creates new tracks in an Adobe Premiere Pro sequence, which is a reversible modification (tracks can be deleted). It does not execute arbitrary code, delete existing content, or cause financial impact. The action modifies the project structure but remains within the scope of Write operations.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Adds a new video or audio track to the sequence' - creates new structural elements in the timeline that can be modified or removed.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_track 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_track, this is the rule to start with:

add_track Rate-limited

add_track 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.
