WHAT IT DOES

What set_metadata does on Adobe Premiere Pro

AI agents use set_metadata 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
`key`	string	Yes	The metadata key/field name
`value`	string	Yes	The metadata value to set
`projectItemId`	string	Yes	The ID of the project item

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_metadata is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies metadata on Premiere Pro project items. While metadata changes are typically reversible and have limited blast radius compared to destructive operations (like deleting clips), they still constitute write operations that alter project state.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'set_metadata' and description 'Sets a project metadata value on a project item' indicate modification of project data.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

set_metadata Rate-limited

set_metadata 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_metadata call is checked against it from then on.
