Why get_project_bins needs a policy

This tool retrieves structural metadata about how media is organized within Premiere Pro project bins. It performs no side effects, creates no data, executes no code, and modifies nothing. It is a straightforward information query operation with minimal security risk, even if misused by an agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_bins' and description 'Get project bin structure and organization' indicate a retrieval operation. The verb 'Get' and lack of any modification, deletion, or execution keywords confirm read-only behavior.

POLICY

How to control get_project_bins

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Premiere Pro MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_project_bins:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_project_bins": {}
  }
}

get_project_bins is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register Premiere Pro MCP Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
