RISK

Why refresh_media is rated Medium

Refreshing media is a write operation because it updates/reloads project data from disk, modifying the in-memory representation of that media asset. While reversible (the original file remains unchanged), it alters the project's current state.

From the tool's definition The tool description states it 'reloads [media] from disk', which modifies the state of a project item in Premiere Pro by refreshing its data source. This is a state-changing operation that affects the project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

refresh_media Rate-limited

refresh_media 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.
