Clear audio transcription for a clip. Args: clip_name: Name of the clip to clear transcription from
AI agents call clear_transcription 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.
The tool removes/clears transcription data from a clip. This is a destructive operation as the transcription data is deleted and cannot be recovered without re-running the transcription process. The blast radius is medium — it affects transcription metadata on a specific clip rather than destroying the clip itself or the entire project.
From the tool's definition 'Clear audio transcription for a clip' — clearing transcription data is an irreversible deletion of transcription content associated with the clip
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access clear_transcription 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_transcription:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"clear_transcription"
]
}clear_transcription disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.
