clear_clip_audio_classification

Clear a clip's audio classification (Resolve 21+). Args: clip_id: Unique ID of the clip.

How to control clear_clip_audio_classification ↓

AI agents use clear_clip_audio_classification 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.

Medium Risk

Clearing an audio classification modifies metadata on a clip (removes the classification label), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete the clip itself, execute code, or involve finances. Severity is medium because it modifies project metadata that could affect automated workflows or organization.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear_clip_audio_classification gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for clear_clip_audio_classification:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "clear_clip_audio_classification": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "clear_clip_audio_classification_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

clear_clip_audio_classification 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.
