Premiere Pro MCP Server

Get Premiere State

get_premiere_state
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the current Premiere Pro state—project info, active sequence, playhead position, selected clips, and available sequences—to understand the editing context before making changes.

Instructions

Get a comprehensive snapshot of the current Premiere Pro state: project info, active sequence, playhead position, selected clips, and available sequences. The best first call to understand the current context.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true, and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is clear. The description adds value by specifying the scope of the snapshot and its aggregate nature, but it does not disclose additional behavioral traits such as performance implications or whether the snapshot is point-in-time.

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 two short sentences with no redundant wording. The main action and scope are front-loaded, and the usage guidance is appended naturally without bloating the definition.

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 a zero-parameter input schema, a rich output schema, and strong read-only indications from annotations, the description covers what the tool does, what it includes, and when to call it. Nothing material is missing for an agent to select and invoke it correctly.

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

Parameters4/5

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

The tool has zero parameters and schema description coverage is 100%, so there are no parameters needing clarification. The description appropriately focuses on what the tool returns rather than inputs.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description uses a specific verb ('Get') and identifies a clear resource: a comprehensive snapshot of the current Premiere Pro state. It enumerates the exact contents (project info, active sequence, playhead position, selected clips, available sequences), making it easy to distinguish from granular siblings like get_project_info or get_playhead_position.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It explicitly says 'The best first call to understand the current context,' which gives concrete guidance on when to use it. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use it or name alternatives for more targeted queries, though the sibling granular getters imply that.

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