Tools (11)
| Name | Title | Hint | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ae_project_info | Project info | read-only | Project-level info: file path, dirty flag, all items with type/summary, active item. Start here. |
ae_comp_info | Comp info | read-only | Detailed comp info: size, fps, duration, work area, motion blur, layer summaries. Pass a comp name or item id — or an ARRAY of them to fetch several comps in one call. |
ae_layer_info | Layer info | read-only | Full layer info: transform, effects, masks, text, shape contents, keyframes (incl. interpolation names and bezier ease speed/influence). layerIndex accepts one index, an ARRAY of indices, or 'all' — auditing a whole comp… |
ae_render_frame | Render frame | none | Render one or more frames to PNG. Use to visually verify edits. The agent's 'eyes' — pair with mutations for a visual feedback loop. Headless and deterministic. Pass `time` for one frame, or `times` for several in ONE ca… |
ae_save_project | Save project | destructive | Save the project. Pass `path` for Save As. |
ae_project_export_json | Export project JSON | none | Serialize the entire project to JSON (folders, comps, layers, keyframes, effects, shapes, markers, time remap, solids, file refs). Write to `outPath` or return inline. |
ae_project_import_json | Import project JSON | destructive | Rebuild the project from JSON (produced by ae_project_export_json). Supports `clearFirst`, `dryRun` (validate-only), `skipValidation`. |
ae_version_info | Version info | read-only | AE version, build, capabilities (saveFrameToPng, app.effects, Socket). Call at session start to know what APIs are available. |
ae_catalog | Operation catalog | read-only | Discover available atomic operations for ae_do. Without args: all categories with their operation names. With a category: detailed params per operation. Only operations this server will actually execute are listed. |
ae_do | Execute operation | destructive | Execute an atomic operation by name (from ae_catalog). Arguments are validated against the operation's declared parameters before anything reaches AE. Have more than one operation to run? Wrap them in ONE batch.run inste… |
ae_context | Session context | read-only | Ambient context: project state, active comp, selected layers, item list, AE.* helpers, ES3 rules, and the undo contract (every call = one auto undo group). Call at session start; then rely on ae_do response context. |
