Premiere Pro MCP Server

Verify Premiere Connection

verify_premiere_connection
Read-onlyIdempotent

Checks if the MCP server and selected Premiere bridge can reach an open project and sequence. Confirms connectivity read-only before editing.

Instructions

Run a safe, read-only first-run check. It proves that this MCP server, the selected Premiere bridge, an active project, and an active sequence are connected without returning project names, paths, or media details.

TDQS

A4.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnly/idempotent/non-destructive, but the description adds genuinely new traits: it is a safety-gated read that returns no project names, paths, or media details. That negative-output guarantee is useful context an agent cannot get from the annotations alone, though it does not cover failure modes.

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?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the safety guarantee ("safe, read-only") and then the scope. No filler or redundancy.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need no explanation, and the description still adds the privacy-relevant return constraint. For a zero-required-param verification tool this covers everything needed to invoke it correctly.

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 coverage is 100% and the single backend param is fully documented (enum, default CEP, no fallback). The description only alludes to "the selected Premiere bridge" and adds no syntax or selection detail beyond the schema, so baseline 3 applies.

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?

States a specific verb (verify) and resource (Premiere connection) and enumerates exactly what connectivity it proves: MCP server, selected bridge, active project, active sequence. The name and description clearly separate it from the After Effects and generic ping siblings.

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?

"first-run check" gives a concrete trigger context for when to reach for this tool. It does not explicitly contrast with the closer alternatives (ping, get_bridge_telemetry, get_premiere_state), so the routing is implied rather than stated.

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