WHAT IT DOES

What reverse_keyframes does on Ae

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

Parameter	Type	Required
`save`	boolean	—
`compName`	string	Yes
`layerName`	string	Yes
`timeoutMs`	number	—
`projectPath`	string	—
`propertyPath`	array	Yes

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why reverse_keyframes is rated Medium

An AI agent can call reverse_keyframes 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.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

reverse_keyframes Rate-limited

reverse_keyframes 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.

    "reverse_keyframes": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "reverse_keyframes_rate",

        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

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

FAQ

Questions about reverse_keyframes

What does the reverse_keyframes tool do? +

Reverse the temporal order of all keyframes on a property. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Ae MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does reverse_keyframes accept? +

reverse_keyframes accepts 6 parameters: save, compName, layerName, timeoutMs, projectPath, propertyPath. Required: compName, layerName, propertyPath. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on reverse_keyframes? +

Register the Ae MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reverse_keyframes: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Ae. Nothing to install.

What risk level is reverse_keyframes? +

reverse_keyframes is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit reverse_keyframes? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reverse_keyframes rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block reverse_keyframes completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reverse_keyframes. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides reverse_keyframes? +

reverse_keyframes is provided by the Ae MCP server (@synthetic-ai/ae-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
