Switch to a specific page in DaVinci Resolve
AI agents invoke switch_page to trigger actions in DaVinci MCP Professional. 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.
This tool triggers an external operation in DaVinci Resolve (changing the active UI page), which is an action with side effects in the external application. It does not read data, write/create content, or delete anything — it executes a navigation/UI action in the software. Severity is low as it merely changes the active page view with no data loss or financial risk.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access switch_page gives an agent:
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 switch_page:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"switch_page": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "switch_page_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}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.

Switch to a specific page in DaVinci Resolve. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the DaVinci MCP Professional MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the DaVinci MCP Professional MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for switch_page: 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 DaVinci MCP Professional. Nothing to install.
switch_page is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the switch_page 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 switch_page. 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.
switch_page is provided by the DaVinci MCP Professional MCP server (positronikal/davinci-mcp-professional). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from DaVinci MCP Professional, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
