RISK

Why lock_track is rated Medium

This tool changes the editable state of a track (locking/unlocking), which is a reversible write operation that modifies project metadata but does not create, delete, or execute external code. The action is fully undoable by calling the tool again with opposite parameters. While it affects editing permissions, it does not destructively delete content, execute arbitrary commands, or trigger financial transactions.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'lock_track' and description 'Locks or unlocks a track to prevent/allow editing' indicates reversible modification of track state/metadata in Adobe Premiere Pro.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

lock_track Rate-limited

lock_track 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.
