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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "ae_set_keyframe_easing",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## 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.

From the tool's own definition: "Apply easing curves to keyframes for smooth, professional animation transitions"

## Use case

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.
