Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_active_sequence is rated Medium

This tool modifies project state (the active/current sequence) but does not create, delete, or irreversibly alter media assets. It is reversible by setting a different sequence as active. It does not execute arbitrary code or trigger financial transactions. While it affects the editing workflow, the modification is non-destructive and characteristic of Write operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_active_sequence' indicates it modifies project state by changing which sequence is active. Description states it 'Sets the active sequence in the project,' which is a state modification operation.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_active_sequence Rate-limited

set_active_sequence 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.

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Adobe Premiere Pro, apply this rule, and every set_active_sequence call is checked against it from then on.
