WHAT IT DOES

What get_clip_properties does on Adobe Premiere Pro

AI agents call get_clip_properties 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.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`clipId`	string	Yes	The ID of the clip
`sequenceId`	string	—	Optional sequence ID to search. If omitted, searches the active sequence first, then all sequences.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why get_clip_properties is rated Low

Even though get_clip_properties only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs get_clip_properties 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 get_clip_properties, this is the rule to start with:

get_clip_properties Allowed

get_clip_properties is read-only, so it stays allowed. 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 get_clip_properties call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about get_clip_properties

What does the get_clip_properties tool do? +

Gets detailed properties of a clip, INCLUDING current Motion values (opacity/scale/rotation/position). Position is returned both normalized (0..1) and in PIXELS (motion.position, using the sequence frame size) so you can verify or copy framing without exporting a frame. Pass sequenceId when the clip ID came from list_sequence_tracks for a non-active sequence. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does get_clip_properties accept? +

get_clip_properties accepts 2 parameters: clipId, sequenceId. Required: clipId. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on get_clip_properties? +
