Create a stereo clip from left and right eye clips. Args: left_clip_id: Unique ID of the left eye clip. right_clip_id: Unique ID of the right eye clip.
AI agents use create_stereo_clip 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.
This tool creates a new clip asset by combining two existing ones, which is a reversible modification to the video project. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), and does not involve financial transactions (not Financial). While it has side effects on the project state, these can be undone through standard editing operations (undo/delete the created clip).
From the tool's definition The tool 'create_stereo_clip' performs a creation operation that combines two existing clips into a new stereo clip. The word 'create' indicates data generation, and the action modifies the project's media structure by adding a new composite clip artifact.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access create_stereo_clip 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 create_stereo_clip:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"create_stereo_clip": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "create_stereo_clip_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}create_stereo_clip 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.

Create a stereo clip from left and right eye clips. Args: left_clip_id: Unique ID of the left eye clip. right_clip_id: Unique ID of the right eye clip. It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for create_stereo_clip: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP. Nothing to install.
create_stereo_clip is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the create_stereo_clip rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for create_stereo_clip. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
create_stereo_clip is provided by the DaVinci Resolve MCP server (samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
