AI agents call resolve_get_render_mode to retrieve information from Resolve without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only reads and returns the current render mode setting (Individual Clips or Single Clip). It has no side effects and does not modify any data, making it a straightforward Read operation with low risk.
From the tool's definition 'Get the current render mode' — retrieves current state without modifying anything
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get the current render mode (Individual Clips or Single Clip). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Resolve MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_get_render_mode: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Resolve. Nothing to install.
resolve_get_render_mode is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resolve_get_render_mode rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resolve_get_render_mode. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
resolve_get_render_mode is provided by the Resolve MCP server (jenkinsm13/resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
