Premiere Pro MCP Server

Search Project Context

search_project_context
Read-onlyIdempotent

Search a Premiere project-context index for relevant sources, timeline placements, transcripts, shots, audio notes, and more. Returns evidence without modifying the project.

Instructions

Search a durable Premiere project-context index for relevant sources, timeline placements, transcript passages, shots, audio observations, and notes. Returns bounded evidence with stable IDs and revisions; it never changes Premiere.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0
Behavior5/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, destructiveHint), the description adds valuable behavior details: it returns bounded evidence with stable IDs and revisions, and explicitly states it never changes Premiere. This goes beyond just echoing the 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 concise and well-structured: two sentences that immediately state the action, the target index, and the key behavior (read-only, bounded results). No unnecessary words or redundant information.

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?

The description is complete for its complexity. It explains what is searched, what is returned (bounded evidence with stable IDs), and that it is non-destructive. With an output schema present, there is no need to detail return structure in the description.

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?

The schema description coverage is 100%, with each parameter having a clear description (e.g., query matched against indexed evidence, max_results default 12, sequence_id filter). The description text does not add much beyond the schema, so it meets the baseline for high coverage without adding extra meaning.

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 clearly states the tool searches a durable Premiere project-context index for a specific set of content types (sources, timeline placements, transcripts, shots, audio observations, notes). It distinguishes itself from other search tools like search_project_items by focusing on the context index and explicitly stating it never changes Premiere.

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?

The description provides clear context for when to use the tool: when searching a durable, indexed project context with natural language or keywords. It implies the tool is for read-only queries against persistent context, but it does not explicitly compare to alternatives or state when not to use it.

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