Premiere Pro MCP Server

Set Sequence Settings

set_sequence_settings

Set the width and height of a Premiere Pro sequence to modify its frame size. Optionally specify a sequence ID; the active sequence is used when omitted.

Instructions

Modify and read back sequence frame-size settings.

TDQS

A3.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds the useful 'read back' behavior, which is not captured by the annotations and tells the agent that the tool returns the updated settings rather than just mutating them. It does not fully explain what happens when width or height is omitted, but the core write-and-return behavior is disclosed.

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 a single, front-loaded sentence that conveys the verb, target, and return behavior with no wasted words. Every word contributes meaning.

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?

For a simple tool with three fully described optional parameters and an output schema, the description is largely sufficient. The main gap is the lack of explicit differentiation from 'set_sequence_resolution', but invocation details are otherwise well covered by the schema and the read-back note.

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 input schema already documents all three parameters with 100% coverage, so the description does not need to repeat them. It adds no deeper semantics, such as what happens if only one dimension is provided, so the baseline score of 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 clearly identifies the operation ('Modify and read back') and the target resource ('sequence frame-size settings'), so an agent knows what the tool acts on. It is not a 5 because it does not distinguish itself from the closely related sibling 'set_sequence_resolution', which may overlap in purpose.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance is given on when to prefer this tool over alternatives such as 'get_sequence_settings' for read-only access or 'set_sequence_resolution' for changing resolution. The agent must infer usage context from the name and description alone.

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