`save`	boolean	—
`time`	number	Yes	Time in seconds.
`closed`	boolean	—
`compName`	string	Yes
`maskName`	string	Yes
`vertices`	array	Yes	Array of [x, y] vertex pairs.
`layerName`	string	Yes
`timeoutMs`	number	—

RISK

Why add_mask_path_keyframe is rated Medium

An AI agent can call add_mask_path_keyframe faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in Ae by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_mask_path_keyframe 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 add_mask_path_keyframe, this is the rule to start with:

add_mask_path_keyframe Rate-limited

add_mask_path_keyframe 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.

How do I enforce a policy on add_mask_path_keyframe? +
