WHAT IT DOES

What add_track does on Aos

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

RISK

Why add_track is rated Medium

This tool creates new data structures (timeline tracks) within a DaVinci Resolve project. It is a Write operation because it modifies project state in a reversible manner—tracks can be deleted or modified later. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'add_track' and description states it will 'Add a new track to the current timeline.' This creates a new timeline track, which is a reversible modification to the project structure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_track safely

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

add_track Rate-limited

add_track 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.
