WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_export_project does on Resolve

AI agents use resolve_export_project 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_project needs a policy

This tool performs file export—a reversible write operation that creates a new file at a specified path. It does not delete, execute arbitrary code, or cause financial effects. The severity is medium because exporting to an incorrect path or with unintended project state could result in data duplication or overwriting existing files, but the operation is reversible (the exported file can be deleted).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Export a project to a .drp file at the given path.' This creates/generates a new file export artifact, which is a write operation that modifies the filesystem by creating a new .drp project file.

resolve_export_project Rate-limited

resolve_export_project 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.
