WHAT IT DOES

What clear_clip_flags does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents call clear_clip_flags 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 clear_clip_flags is rated Critical

Clearing flags removes metadata markers from a clip. This is a destructive operation as the flags are deleted and cannot be recovered without manually re-adding them. The blast radius is medium as it only affects clip metadata within a project, not the underlying media files.

From the tool's definition 'Clear flags on a clip' — removes/deletes flag annotations from a clip irreversibly

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

clear_clip_flags Hidden

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