If you are using Photoshop Frame tool to create Photoshop Frame layers. Photoshop Frame Layer are very strange. That are also not needed. Photoshop never has a Problem framing images with normal layer masks and vector layer masks. Why Adobe thought they needed an additional Frame mask is beyond me. I have remove the frame tool from my Toolbar and disabled it shortcut. As I wrote its a strange Layer for it is both a Layer Set and a Smart Object Layer so there is a Layer Name and a Layer Set name. In the Layers palette only one name is displayed and the Frame Mask Thumbnail is where the Smart Object Layer content thumbnail should be. The bounds of the Frame Later Set seem to be the bounds of the Frame Mask image area. But the shape of the image area does not have to be a rectangle it can be an oval, dostorted etc and be masked additionally with a layer mask. Becaue Place is used place may scale the image to small the because of imag files Print PPI setting and the frame tool design does not scale the placed imags up to fill the frame but, you can. The smart object has the original images files pixels. I just ignore that Adobe Frame tool existance.
So the Frame's Layer Set bounds may be what your are looking. You do not want the smart object layer bounds that is masked by the Frame Mask.
R-Bin your knowledge of Action Manager coding and JavaScript is outstanding. Thank you for helping this forum out. You code does seem to return to Frame Layer Set bounds. The only thing in you script I understood is: app.activeDocument.activeLayer.id the Frame layer needed to be Photoshop current target before running the script. For some reason though my top letf Y is 2 pixels off of yours ?
OK I see where the difference is its a strange layer for sure.
You may want to look at Collage scripts all the is required in as College template to frame an image is an Alpha Channel that mapse the Image location size and shape. The script will place in your Images as smart object lalayer scale the layer to fill the image location, position the images to their Collage image location and mask the image to shape. The scripts can also stamp the images file manes over the image in one of 9 locations. Layer Styles can be add to the Image and text layer the scripts adds. Photoshop has no problem framing images without a frame tool. While all that my Collage template Design requires is a Background Layer and Alpha channels name Image 1, Image 2, ..., Image N. There can be additional layers above the required background layer to add fancy frames around the image areas and have overlay embellishments on the images. My Scripts Place image in order Above the background layer below the templates other layers and stamp image name by adding text late above the top most late in the template over the Image area. The limitations is the scripts can not add rotation, perspective distortion warping because I wanted to be able to populate the templates using any size image and have my script scale the smart object layers size. If you need rotation, warping, perspective distortion you can use my Mockup template populating scripts they updated Smart Object in mockup templates. However, my mockup scripts do not support stamping file on images for the script have no of know how many location a smart object may be use in the templates or how they may be warped and distorted.
So a simple two layer collage template with 5 mapping Image Alpha channels (Photoshop limit is 53 Alpha) My scripts can populate and stamp 5 names. Here the Template in photoshop you cabs see how simple it is, Then one of my collage script dialog. them the aotomated populate template.

That may be the Canvas bonds for all I see in the Layer set and the smart object layer is the bounds of the visible area. I would think a Frame mask would hide all, areas outside the visible ares. The Smart object Image layer could be transformed to be huge. The frame mask would have to hide all of the Image that is over the document canvas outside the frame's visible area.
Here after creating a Oval Frame Layer and Placing in a Raw Image. I added black Canvas 200% width and height. I transformed the Placed Image to be huge so just one eye would be in the frme's visible area. I then moved the frame visible area so it over some of the background layer's black and white areas. The ran my layer stack script here is what I see.
When I created the frame layer the frame thumbnail and image thumbnail and background looked like this: You can see the frames outer bounds is the Canvas bounds
So the frames layer set bounds is the bounds of the frames visible area. The Smart Object layers bounds can be any bound the user transform the object to. The Frame's outer bounds is the documents canvas bounds and the frame's visible ares can be positione anywhere.
even off canvas.
