## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "speed_change",
    "arguments": {
      "speed": 0,
      "clipId": "<clipId>"
    }
  }
}

## Why speed_change is rated Medium

Speed changes in video editing are reversible modifications to clip properties. While this affects the final output and timeline composition, the change can be undone (undo/redo in Premiere Pro). The severity is medium because misuse could degrade video quality or create unexpected playback artifacts that would require correction, but the effects are not permanent and can be easily reverted.

From the tool's own definition: "The tool 'speed_change' modifies a clip's playback speed property in Adobe Premiere Pro, which alters the clip's characteristics in a reversible manner."

## Use case

AI agents use speed_change 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.
