resolve_regenerate_magic_mask · Resolve MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_regenerate_magic_mask does on Resolve

AI agents invoke resolve_regenerate_magic_mask to trigger actions in Resolve. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_regenerate_magic_mask needs a policy

Regenerating a Magic Mask triggers a computational operation on an existing clip in DaVinci Resolve, processing and overwriting a previously generated mask. This is an Execute action as it runs an external operation (mask regeneration) whose effects depend on the clip and its settings. It modifies state but is likely reversible via undo, so not Destructive.

Verdict

resolve_regenerate_magic_mask Rate-limited

resolve_regenerate_magic_mask stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

FAQ

Questions about resolve_regenerate_magic_mask

What does the resolve_regenerate_magic_mask tool do? +

Regenerate the Magic Mask on a timeline clip. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Resolve MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on resolve_regenerate_magic_mask? +

Register the Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for resolve_regenerate_magic_mask: 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.

What risk level is resolve_regenerate_magic_mask? +

resolve_regenerate_magic_mask is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit resolve_regenerate_magic_mask? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the resolve_regenerate_magic_mask 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.

How do I block resolve_regenerate_magic_mask completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for resolve_regenerate_magic_mask. 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.

What MCP server provides resolve_regenerate_magic_mask? +

resolve_regenerate_magic_mask 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.
