Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

• ae_checkpoint

  Create or list .aep checkpoints for the current saved project.

• ae_exec

  Run ExtendScript in After Effects. Render or $.evalFile in a separate call without undo_group_name and with no open Undo groups. Source checks cannot cover all dynamic calls. Timeout does not stop a script: reconcile before retrying. If suppressing dialogs, restore in finally and return errors; verify render status/output. Dispatched failures may return recoveryId/scriptPath; retry via ae_execRecover. Success content is a string with contentType "json" or "text".

• ae_execRecover

  Retry one dispatched ae_exec failure using its exact server-issued recoveryId. Omit code to run the saved editable script, or provide corrected code. The default restores the recorded checkpoint; retryMode:"continue" keeps the current project state.

• ae_instancescan change or delete data

  Discover local AE instances, explicitly start a primary, or stop an owned primary. Closing a panel is never repaired by starting another AE.

• ae_nativeExec

  ae.nativeExec — execute one bounded linear program of curated AEGP primitives. Use ae.exec for operations supported by the maintained AE scripting object model. Native programs allow at most 64 ordered operations and may reference only earlier request-local values. Programs containing writes require one stable operationKey and one real AE undoGroup; read-only programs must omit both fields.

• ae_previewFrameread-only

  Read real composition pixels after a write, use compare to prove only the intended region changed, or use range with grid to inspect an animation interval. AE saveFrameToPng may omit Guide Layers even when they are visible in the viewer; prepare the desired layer state before capture. This tool leaves Guide and layer visibility settings unchanged. 16-bit source PNGs are returned as 8-bit. Inline images share a 12 MiB base64-character budget with a 4.5 MiB per-image limit; oversized images are reduced or represented by a thumbnail while path retains the full-resolution 8-bit PNG. Transparent pi…

• ae_readread-only

  Read one After Effects project, composition, layer, property tree, keyframe list, or composition settings view. Reads are paginated, sortable, filterable, and never create checkpoints, undo groups, or mutations.

• ae_readJobread-only

  Submit bounded reads or native previews against an existing checkpoint, inspect progress, retrieve paginated snapshot results, or request cancellation. No arbitrary scripts or realtime claims.

• ae_revert

  Revert to a previously saved checkpoint by id.

• ae_skillUse

  List, render, or execute skills, including prompt skills you saved with ae_toolSave.

• ae_statusread-only

  Read same-process ae-mcp host status, ping the host, or diagnose AE responsiveness without a network round trip.

• ae_toolSave

  Turn a useful script into a reusable tool, or promote a captured candidate in one step.

• ae_toolSearch

  Search the Tool Library before repeating an operation; saved tools and candidates can both be inspected directly by id.

• ae_toolUse

  Replay a Tool Library artifact by id. Prefer it over rewriting a script for a repeated task.

• ae_validateExpressions

  Force-evaluate expressions and report errors.
