WHAT IT DOES

What ae_remove_effect does on Ae

AI agents call ae_remove_effect to permanently remove resources in Ae, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why ae_remove_effect is rated Critical

Removing effects from layers destroys the effect configuration and its parameters. While the layer itself remains, the effect data (including any keyframes or expressions tied to that effect) is permanently lost unless manually undone.

From the tool's definition 'Remove effects from layers' — removal is an irreversible action that deletes applied effects from composition layers

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs ae_remove_effect 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_remove_effect, this is the rule to start with:

ae_remove_effect Hidden

ae_remove_effect is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
