WHAT IT DOES

What add_clip_marker does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use add_clip_marker to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP environment.

RISK

Why add_clip_marker is rated Medium

Adding a marker is a reversible modification operation that creates metadata within a DaVinci Resolve project. While markers can organize and annotate clips, they do not execute external code, delete data, or cause financial impact. This aligns with Write category—creating or modifying data that can be undone.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'add_clip_marker' indicates creation of marker metadata on a video clip. Sibling tools like 'add_clip_flag', 'add_keyframe', and 'add_render_job' are all Write operations that create or modify timeline/project state reversibly.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs add_clip_marker safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For add_clip_marker, this is the rule to start with:

add_clip_marker Rate-limited

add_clip_marker stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
