Why delete_track is rated Critical
The tool removes content (video or audio tracks) from a video project in a way that cannot be undone programmatically through this MCP interface. While the impact is scoped to a single project file, deletion of media tracks represents a destructive action with clear loss of data. An AI agent could accidentally remove important tracks, causing significant rework.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_track' and description explicitly states it 'Deletes a video or audio track from the sequence.' This is an irreversible deletion operation.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs delete_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 delete_track, this is the rule to start with:
delete_track 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_track call is checked against it from then on.
