WHAT IT DOES

What clear_proxy does on Ae

AI agents call clear_proxy to permanently remove resources in Ae, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`save`	boolean	—	Save the project after updating. Defaults to false.
`itemName`	string	Yes	Footage item name.
`timeoutMs`	number	—	Process timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to 120000.
`projectPath`	string	—	Optional absolute path to an .aep file to open first.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why clear_proxy is rated Critical

An AI agent that decides to call clear_proxy doesn't hesitate, doesn't double-check, and doesn't stop at one. Whatever it removes from Ae is gone. There is no undo for destructive operations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

clear_proxy Hidden

clear_proxy is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Ae, apply this rule, and every clear_proxy call is checked against it from then on.
