Premiere Pro MCP Server

Inspect Dom Object

inspect_dom_object
Read-onlyIdempotent

Inspect any Premiere Pro DOM object by dot-path to list its properties, methods, and values, making API exploration and debugging easier.

Instructions

Inspect a Premiere Pro DOM object and list its properties, methods, and values. Useful for exploring the API and debugging.

Examples:

  • "app.project" → project properties

  • "app.project.activeSequence" → sequence properties

  • "app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0]" → first clip on V1

  • "app.project.activeSequence.videoTracks[0].clips[0].components[0]" → first component of a clip

Input Schema

Output Schema

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, idempotent, non-destructive behavior. The description adds the behavioral detail that it lists properties, methods, and values and provides concrete examples, but it does not add rich context such as error behavior or output size. No contradiction with annotations.

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 compact, front-loaded with the purpose, and every example earns its place by clarifying realistic usage. No redundant or filler content.

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?

Given the presence of a full input schema, output schema, and read-only annotations, the description is largely complete. It clearly explains what the tool does, how to use it, and what kind of paths are valid. It leaves minor room for more detail about invalid paths or output size, but nothing essential is missing.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds meaningful value by providing concrete dot-path examples, including array indexing, which helps an agent understand valid object_path formats beyond the schema text.

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?

Description states a clear verb ('Inspect') and resource ('a Premiere Pro DOM object') and says it lists properties, methods, and values. It is distinct from more specific sibling inspectors, though it does not explicitly differentiate itself from them.

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?

Says it is 'useful for exploring the API and debugging,' which gives clear context for when an agent would use it. It does not mention alternatives or exclusions, but the intended use case is reasonably explicit.

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