resolve_switch_page · Resolve MCP: Risk & Policy

WHAT IT DOES

What resolve_switch_page does on Resolve

AI agents invoke resolve_switch_page 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_switch_page needs a policy

This tool triggers an external operation in DaVinci Resolve by switching the application's active page/view. It causes a UI state change in an external application, which qualifies as Execute. While not destructive, misuse could disrupt active workflows or interrupt ongoing operations like rendering.

resolve_switch_page Rate-limited

resolve_switch_page 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.
