What open_project does on Adobe Premiere Pro
AI agents invoke open_project to trigger actions in Adobe Premiere Pro. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | Yes | The absolute path to the .prproj file to open |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why open_project is rated High
This tool triggers an external application operation (opening a project in Adobe Premiere Pro), which constitutes executing an action in an external program. It's not purely reading data — it actively causes Premiere Pro to load and open a project file, changing the application state. While not destructive or financial, it does execute an external operation whose effects depend on the file path argument.

The rule that runs open_project 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 open_project, this is the rule to start with:
open_project stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times 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 open_project call is checked against it from then on.
