WHAT IT DOES

What create_project_folder does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use create_project_folder 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 create_project_folder is rated Medium

This tool creates a new folder within the project, which is a reversible write operation. It does not execute code, delete data irreversibly, or trigger financial transactions. The blast radius is minimal—a folder can be deleted if created erroneously. Confidence is high because the function name and description are explicit about the create (write) action.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'create_project_folder' and description 'Create a new folder in the current project folder location' indicate a folder creation operation that modifies the project structure.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

create_project_folder Rate-limited

create_project_folder 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.
