Why enable_disable_clip is rated Medium
Enabling/disabling a clip is a reversible modification of project state (toggling visibility/active status on the timeline). It does not delete data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), involve financial transactions (not Financial), or merely retrieve information (not Read).
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Enables or disables a clip on the timeline' — this modifies the state of timeline content without deletion. The broader server context describes 'editing operations' and 'execution' workflows in Adobe Premiere Pro.

The rule that runs enable_disable_clip safely

enable_disable_clip 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 enable_disable_clip call is checked against it from then on.
