Export As Project

export_as_project

Export a sequence as a standalone Premiere Pro project file using an output path; omit sequence_id to use the active sequence. Fails when no file is written or an existing output is unchanged.

Instructions

Export a sequence as a standalone Premiere Pro project file. Fails when Premiere writes no file or leaves a pre-existing output unchanged.

Input Schema

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
okYesWhether the tool completed successfully.
dataNoTool-specific result data when ok is true; on failure, diagnostic detail when the tool provides it.
toolYesThe registered MCP tool name.
errorNoFailure detail when ok is false.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, idempotentHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds real value beyond that by disclosing failure semantics: it errors when Premiere writes no file or leaves a pre-existing output unchanged, which tells the agent that pre-existing files at output_path can cause the call to fail.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, no filler, and the core purpose is front-loaded ahead of the failure caveat. Every sentence earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter export with an output schema and full annotation coverage, the definition is nearly complete: purpose, default-sequence behavior (via schema) and failure modes are all covered. The only gap is the absence of routing guidance against sibling export tools.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so output_path and sequence_id (including the 'uses active sequence if omitted' default) are already documented in the schema. The description adds no syntax or format details beyond that, so the baseline of 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource ('Export a sequence as a standalone Premiere Pro project file'), which clearly distinguishes it from export_sequence, export_aaf, export_as_fcp_xml, and save_project_as. It could have named the nearest sibling explicitly, but the phrasing alone is unambiguous.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No when-to-use guidance and no alternatives named. An agent choosing among the many export tools (export_sequence, export_sequence_edl, export_as_fcp_xml, export_aaf, create_project_backup) gets no routing help beyond the differing output format implied by the title.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
