AI agents call get_version to retrieve information from DaVinci MCP Professional without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves version information without modifying, executing, or affecting any data or system state. It is a harmless informational query with no side effects, fitting the Read category definition of retrieving data without side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_version' and description 'Get DaVinci Resolve version information' indicate a simple query operation that retrieves metadata about the installed software version.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci MCP Professional, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_version:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_version": {}
}
}get_version is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
