Premiere Pro MCP Server

Get Xmp Metadata

get_xmp_metadata
Read-onlyIdempotent

Retrieve the raw XMP packet for a Premiere Pro project item, covering Dublin Core, EXIF, IPTC, and xmpDM namespaces to inspect embedded clip metadata.

Instructions

Get the raw file/clip XMP packet for a project item (Dublin Core, EXIF, IPTC, xmpDM, and other namespaces). Distinct from Premiere-private project metadata. Omit GPS and camera serials from user-facing reports unless requested.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint false, and openWorldHint false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds useful behavioral context by identifying the returned packet contents and advising to omit GPS and camera serial numbers from user-facing reports unless requested.

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 sentences, front-loaded with the core purpose. Each sentence earns its place: the first defines the resource and contents, the second distinguishes it from private project metadata, and the third gives a relevant privacy-handling instruction.

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?

For a simple read-only metadata retrieval tool with rich annotations, a complete input schema, and an output schema, the description supplies the necessary context. It covers what is returned, what it is not, and an important privacy caveat, with no material gaps for correct invocation.

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%, and the single item_id parameter is fully documented in the schema as a 'Node ID or name of the project item.' The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond what the schema already provides, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific verb and resource: 'Get the raw file/clip XMP packet for a project item.' It scopes the content with namespaces (Dublin Core, EXIF, IPTC, xmpDM) and explicitly distinguishes itself from Premiere-private project metadata, so an agent can tell it apart from related metadata tools.

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 gives clear context for when this tool is appropriate by contrasting it with 'Premiere-private project metadata,' which helps the agent avoid using it for that case. However, it does not name an explicit alternative tool or state precise when-not-to-use conditions beyond that distinction.

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