What create_stereo_clip does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
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.
Why create_stereo_clip is rated Medium
The tool creates and modifies data within the video editing project (a stereo clip asset), which is reversible—it can be deleted or replaced. This constitutes a Write operation. Severity is medium because misuse could result in unwanted stereo clip artifacts in a project, requiring manual cleanup, but affects only the current editing session without external or destructive consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool creates a stereo clip by combining left and right eye clips, modifying the project's media pool and timeline structure.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_stereo_clip 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_stereo_clip, this is the rule to start with:
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.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every create_stereo_clip call is checked against it from then on.
