Get Mogrt Component

get_mogrt_component

Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve MOGRT component parameters from a timeline clip, including extracted text values, and audit text controls against expected values to flag verified, mismatch, or missing properties.

Instructions

Get MOGRT (Motion Graphics Template) component parameters from a clip. Each parameter includes textValue (visible text extracted from textEditValue when present). Pass expected_values to audit text controls such as Headline; the result flags verified, mismatch, or missing_property per field. Reads the stored property, not the Essential Graphics panel display, which Premiere can show stale (host UI behavior this tool cannot refresh).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`node_id`	Yes	Node ID of the MOGRT clip on the timeline
`expected_values`	No	Optional read-only audit map of MOGRT text parameter display names to the text each should contain (for example { "Headline": "Chapter 3" }). Result audit.status is verified, mismatch, or missing_property.
`expected_cep_target`	No	Optional reviewed CEP sequence/clip identity and exact tick ranges. Checked before every generated command; UXP refuses this CEP-only guard.
`expected_project_path`	No	Optional absolute saved-project path. Every generated CEP command refuses before its body when the active project differs or is unsaved. UXP commands refuse this CEP-only guard; local-only tools do not inspect Premiere. Omit to keep existing behavior.

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description
`ok`	Yes	Whether the tool completed successfully.
`data`	No	Tool-specific result data when ok is true; on failure, diagnostic detail when the tool provides it.
`tool`	Yes	The registered MCP tool name.
`error`	No	Failure detail when ok is false.
`receipt`	No	Versioned common mutation receipt; success never implies rendered verification.
`idempotency`	No	Present when idempotency_key deduplicated this call: replayed is true when the original outcome was returned instead of running again.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already establish that this is a safe, read-only, idempotent operation. The description adds non-obvious behavioral context: textValue is extracted from textEditValue, expected_values produces verified/mismatch/missing_property flags, and the tool reads the stored property rather than the potentially stale Essential Graphics panel display. That stale-UI caveat is valuable beyond what annotations provide.

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?

The description is three compact sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then audit behavior, then the stale-panel caveat. Every sentence contributes useful information without filler.

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

Completeness5/5

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

With read-only annotations, a fully described input schema, and an output schema present, the description supplies what an agent needs to invoke the tool correctly. The main non-obvious limitation—Premiere's panel display can be stale—is explicitly disclosed.

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 node_id, expected_values, expected_cep_target, and expected_project_path are already documented in the schema. The description adds limited extra meaning around expected_values and textValue, but largely restates schema semantics; baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

The description states a specific verb and resource: 'Get MOGRT (Motion Graphics Template) component parameters from a clip.' That is more specific than generic clip-property tools. It does not explicitly name a sibling alternative such as get_clip_properties or get_effect_properties, so it falls short of full sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description gives a concrete usage scenario: 'Pass expected_values to audit text controls such as Headline,' and explains the resulting audit statuses. However, it does not say when to choose this tool over alternatives or when not to use it, leaving usage mostly implied.

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