## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "delete_sequence",
    "arguments": {
      "sequenceId": "<sequenceId>"
    }
  }
}
```

## 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.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name is 'delete_sequence' and description states it 'Deletes a sequence from the project.' The verb 'Deletes' and the irreversible nature of removing a sequence (a container of edited video content) from a Premiere Pro project clearly indicates…"

## Use case

AI agents call delete_sequence to permanently remove resources in Adobe Premiere Pro, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Hidden**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Adobe Premiere Pro:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "delete_sequence"
  ]
}
```
