## Why get_active_sequence is rated Low

This tool retrieves metadata or status information about an active sequence in Adobe Premiere Pro. It performs a read-only query with no side effects, no data modification, and no execution of commands. The blast radius of misuse is minimal since the AI agent cannot cause harm by merely reading sequence information.

From the tool's own definition: "'Gets information about the currently active sequence' - a retrieval operation that queries the state of the currently active video editing sequence without modifying, deleting, or executing external operations."

## Use case

AI agents call get_active_sequence to retrieve information from Adobe Premiere Pro without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

```json
