Why get_sequence_details needs a policy

This tool performs a read-only operation that queries and returns information about Premiere Pro project sequences. It retrieves metadata about tracks, effects, and markers but does not create, modify, delete, or execute any operations on the project. The verb 'Get' and the passive nature of the operation (information retrieval only) clearly place this in the Read category, representing minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_sequence_details' and description 'Get detailed information about a specific sequence including tracks, effects, and markers' indicate a query operation that retrieves data without modification or side effects.

POLICY

How to control get_sequence_details

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_sequence_details:

policy.json

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

get_sequence_details 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.
