WHAT IT DOES

What export_as_fcp_xml does on Adobe Premiere Pro

AI agents use export_as_fcp_xml to create or update resources in Adobe Premiere Pro, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Adobe Premiere Pro environment.

`outputPath`	string	Yes	The absolute file path for the exported XML file
`sequenceId`	string	Yes	The ID of the sequence to export

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why export_as_fcp_xml is rated Medium

Exporting creates new data (XML file) in a reversible manner — the export does not modify the original Premiere sequence and the exported file can be deleted. This fits Write category (creates data reversibly) rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool exports video sequence data as FCP XML format. Description states 'Exports a sequence as Final Cut Pro XML' — this creates a new file/data artifact in an external format.
