Why delete_sequence is rated Critical
Deletion of a sequence is an irreversible operation that destroys project data without the ability to undo through normal tool usage. While Premiere Pro may offer undo functionality at the application level, the tool itself performs a destructive action. This is classified as Destructive rather than Execute because the action is inherently destructive by design, not a general-purpose execution tool.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_sequence 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 delete_sequence, this is the rule to start with:
delete_sequence is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every delete_sequence call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_sequence: 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.
delete_sequence is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_sequence 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 delete_sequence. 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.
delete_sequence 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.
