What ae_set_keyframe_easing does on Ae
AI agents use ae_set_keyframe_easing 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.
Why ae_set_keyframe_easing is rated Medium
This tool modifies existing keyframe data by applying easing curves, which is a reversible write operation within the After Effects project. It changes animation properties but does not execute code, delete data, or have financial implications. Misuse has minimal blast radius as it only affects animation timing within a project.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs ae_set_keyframe_easing 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_set_keyframe_easing, this is the rule to start with:
ae_set_keyframe_easing 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 Ae, apply this rule, and every ae_set_keyframe_easing call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ae_set_keyframe_easing
Apply easing curves to keyframes for smooth, professional animation transitions. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ae MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the Ae MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ae_set_keyframe_easing: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ae. Nothing to install.
ae_set_keyframe_easing is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ae_set_keyframe_easing rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ae_set_keyframe_easing. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
ae_set_keyframe_easing is provided by the Ae MCP server (ae-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
