WHAT IT DOES

What clear_clip_color does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use clear_clip_color 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 clear_clip_color is rated Medium

Clearing a clip color removes a metadata/visual label from a media pool item. This is a reversible modification (the color can be reassigned), making it a Write operation. The blast radius is low as it only affects a cosmetic label attribute of a clip, not the clip content itself.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

clear_clip_color Rate-limited

clear_clip_color 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.
