WHAT IT DOES

What archive_project does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents call archive_project to permanently remove resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why archive_project is rated Critical

Archiving a project in DaVinci Resolve typically packages and may remove or alter the live project state, which could be irreversible (e.g., closing/removing the active project from the database). The name suggests a potentially destructive or at minimum significant write operation. However, with no description available, confidence is reduced.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'archive_project' — description is empty and uninformative.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs archive_project 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 archive_project, this is the rule to start with:

archive_project Hidden

archive_project is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.

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