# set_segment_continuation

Make a segment's image render as a continuation of an EARLIER segment's frame (same composition evolving — the storyboard's continues_from_segment, settable after the fact). continues_from is that earlier segment's number; pass 0 to clear the link. Regenerate the segment's image afterwards — the reference is applied at generation time.

- Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `project_id` | string | yes | Project ID, as returned by create_project or list_projects |
| `continues_from` | integer | no | 1-based number of the EARLIER segment whose frame this one continues; pass 0 to clear the link |
| `segment_number` | integer | yes | 1-based number of the segment whose image should continue an earlier frame, as reported by get_segments |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

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

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "set_segment_continuation",
    "arguments": {
      "project_id": "<project_id>",
      "segment_number": 0
    }
  }
}
```

## Why set_segment_continuation is rated Medium

The tool creates or modifies data (the 'continues_from_segment' reference) in a reversible manner. The user can change the link or pass 0 to clear it, making this a Write action rather than Destructive. Severity is medium because modifying storyboard composition relationships could degrade video output quality if misused, but the effects are easily corrected by adjusting the reference again.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool modifies a segment's 'continues_from_segment' property 'settable after the fact', establishing a reference link between segments."

## Use case

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

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Framesail:

```json

  "tools": {
    "set_segment_continuation": {
