Why remove_keyframe is rated Critical
The tool removes (deletes) a keyframe from a clip parameter. Deletion of keyframe data is irreversible without an undo stack; in an automated/AI context this qualifies as Destructive. Severity is medium because it affects a single keyframe on a single parameter, limiting blast radius to a specific animation point rather than entire clips or projects.
From the tool's definition 'Removes a keyframe' — explicitly deletes a keyframe from a clip component parameter, which is an irreversible deletion of animation data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs remove_keyframe 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 remove_keyframe, this is the rule to start with:
remove_keyframe is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every remove_keyframe call is checked against it from then on.
