clipId | string | Yes | The ID of the clip |
lutPath | string | Yes | The absolute path to the .cube or .3dl LUT file |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why apply_lut is rated Medium
Applying a LUT is a reversible modification to clip properties (color grading). It creates or modifies visual effects on video content without permanently destroying data or executing arbitrary code. This is clearly a Write operation. Severity is medium because misapplication could affect video output quality, but the effect is easily undone and requires deliberate action to cause problems.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Applies a Look-Up Table (LUT) to a clip for color grading' — this modifies the visual properties of a clip, which is reversible through undo or removing the LUT.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs apply_lut 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 apply_lut, this is the rule to start with:
apply_lut 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every apply_lut call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for apply_lut: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adobe Premiere Pro. Nothing to install.
apply_lut is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the apply_lut rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for apply_lut. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
apply_lut is provided by the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server (adobe-premiere-pro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
