What reverse_clip does on Adobe Premiere Pro
AI agents use reverse_clip to create or update resources in Adobe Premiere Pro, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Adobe Premiere Pro environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
clipId | string | Yes | The ID of the clip to reverse |
maintainAudioPitch | boolean | — | Whether to maintain audio pitch (default: true) |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why reverse_clip is rated Medium
This tool modifies clip data (playback direction) in a non-destructive, reversible manner. While it alters the editing project, it does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or cause irreversible data loss. It fits the Write category as a modification operation.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'reverses the playback of a clip' - this modifies the clip's properties/effects within the timeline.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs reverse_clip 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 reverse_clip, this is the rule to start with:
reverse_clip 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every reverse_clip call is checked against it from then on.

Register the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reverse_clip: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Adobe Premiere Pro. Nothing to install.
reverse_clip is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reverse_clip rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reverse_clip. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
reverse_clip is provided by the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server (adobe-premiere-pro-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
