WHAT IT DOES

What set_keyframe_ease does on Ae

AI agents use set_keyframe_ease 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	Description
`save`	boolean	—	Save after updating. Defaults to false.
`easeIn`	array	—	Array of {speed,influence}. One value is reused for all dimensions.
`easeOut`	array	—	Array of {speed,influence}. One value is reused for all dimensions.
`indices`	array	—	Optional 1-based keyframe indices. Defaults to all.
`compName`	string	Yes	Composition name.
`layerName`	string	Yes	Layer name.
`timeoutMs`	number	—	Process timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to 120000.
`projectPath`	string	—	Optional absolute path to an .aep file to open first.
`propertyPath`	array	Yes	Property path, preferably match names.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RISK

Why set_keyframe_ease is rated Medium

An AI agent can call set_keyframe_ease 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 set_keyframe_ease 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 set_keyframe_ease, this is the rule to start with:

set_keyframe_ease Rate-limited

set_keyframe_ease 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.

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

FAQ

Questions about set_keyframe_ease

What does the set_keyframe_ease tool do? +

Set temporal ease speed/influence for selected or all keyframes. 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 set_keyframe_ease accept? +

set_keyframe_ease accepts 9 parameters: save, easeIn, easeOut, indices, 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 set_keyframe_ease? +

Register the Ae MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for set_keyframe_ease: 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 set_keyframe_ease? +

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

Can I rate-limit set_keyframe_ease? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the set_keyframe_ease 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 set_keyframe_ease completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for set_keyframe_ease. 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 set_keyframe_ease? +

set_keyframe_ease 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.
