What analyze_clip_for_intellisearch does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents invoke analyze_clip_for_intellisearch to trigger actions in DaVinci Resolve MCP. 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 analyze_clip_for_intellisearch is rated High
The tool actively runs an analysis process (IntelliSearch) on a clip rather than simply reading existing data. This constitutes an Execute action as it triggers an external AI operation. Misuse could cause unintended processing of clips or consume significant system/AI resources, warranting medium severity.
From the tool's definition 'Run IntelliSearch analysis on a clip' — triggers an AI analysis operation on a clip, which is an active execution process requiring external AI components

The rule that runs analyze_clip_for_intellisearch 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 analyze_clip_for_intellisearch, this is the rule to start with:
analyze_clip_for_intellisearch 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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every analyze_clip_for_intellisearch call is checked against it from then on.
