WHAT IT DOES

What ae_export_video does on Ae

AI agents use ae_export_video to create or update resources in Ae, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Ae environment.

RISK

Why ae_export_video is rated Medium

This tool writes/creates a new video file on disk by exporting an After Effects composition. It is a file creation operation (Write), not destructive since it doesn't delete source assets, not Execute since it's a bounded export operation rather than arbitrary code execution. Misuse could fill disk space or overwrite existing exports, hence medium severity.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ae_export_video safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Ae, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For ae_export_video, this is the rule to start with:

ae_export_video Rate-limited

ae_export_video 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.
