RISK

Why set_clip_properties is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies video clip properties reversibly within the Premiere Pro project. The changes (opacity, scale, rotation, position) can be undone or reverted, making it a Write operation rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Sets Motion properties of a clip (opacity, scale, rotation, position)' — a direct modification operation that changes clip attributes in the video project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_clip_properties Rate-limited

set_clip_properties 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.
