WHAT IT DOES

What set_footage_interpretation does on Adobe Premiere Pro

AI agents use set_footage_interpretation 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
`frameRate`	number	—	Override frame rate
`projectItemId`	string	Yes	The ID of the project item
`pixelAspectRatio`	number	—	Override pixel aspect ratio

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_footage_interpretation is rated Medium

The tool modifies project metadata (interpretation settings) which affects how media is rendered but can be changed back. This is a Write operation because it alters project state reversibly.

From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Sets footage interpretation settings (frame rate, pixel aspect ratio)' — the verb 'Sets' indicates modification of metadata/configuration for a project item. This is reversible and does not delete data or execute external code.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_footage_interpretation Rate-limited

set_footage_interpretation 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.
