set_clip_properties_batch
Applies Motion properties (opacity/scale/rotation/position) to MANY clips in a single round-trip — the fast path for per-speaker framing across a whole rebuilt edit. ~50x faster than one set_clip_properties call per clip.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs set_clip_properties_batch 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_batch, this is the rule to start with:
set_clip_properties_batch 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 set_clip_properties_batch call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about set_clip_properties_batch
Applies Motion properties (opacity/scale/rotation/position) to MANY clips in a single round-trip — the fast path for per-speaker framing across a whole rebuilt edit. ~50x faster than one set_clip_properties call per clip. Returns a per-clip result array; each result carries an applied map ({opacity,scale,rotation,position}) and success is true only when EVERY requested property was actually found and set (a missing Motion property is reported, not silently ignored). It is categorised as a Write tool in the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
set_clip_properties_batch accepts 1 parameter: items. Required: items. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Adobe Premiere Pro MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_clip_properties_batch: 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.
set_clip_properties_batch 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 set_clip_properties_batch 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 set_clip_properties_batch. 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.
set_clip_properties_batch 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.
