resolve_export_lut · Resolve MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_export_lut does on Resolve

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

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_export_lut needs a policy

The tool writes or extracts data (a LUT file) from the Resolve project and outputs it, which is a reversible create/write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data irreversibly, or move money. The medium severity reflects that exported files could overwrite existing files or be misused in downstream workflows, but the operation itself is reversible.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'resolve_export_lut' indicates exporting a Look-Up Table (LUT) file from DaVinci Resolve. Tool description is empty, limiting direct evidence. However, 'export' typically involves writing/saving output data to a file or storage location.
