WHAT IT DOES

What unlink_timeline_items does on Cutpilot

AI agents use unlink_timeline_items to create or update resources in Cutpilot, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Cutpilot environment.

RISK

Why unlink_timeline_items is rated Medium

The tool removes a link group (a metadata/relational association between timeline items), which is a reversible modification to project data. It explicitly states it does not change clip timing or media, so no destructive effect on actual content. It's a write/update operation on the project's link metadata.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs unlink_timeline_items safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Cutpilot, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For unlink_timeline_items, this is the rule to start with:

unlink_timeline_items Rate-limited

unlink_timeline_items stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
