Why color_correct is rated Medium
Color correction modifies clip properties (color/exposure parameters) but is a reversible adjustment — parameters can be reset or changed. It does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, or involve finances. Classified as Write at medium severity because misuse could alter visual properties across clips, but changes are generally non-destructive in Premiere's adjustment model.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs color_correct 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 color_correct, this is the rule to start with:
color_correct 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 color_correct call is checked against it from then on.
