Delete a marker by its custom data string. Args: clip_id: Unique ID of the clip. custom_data: Custom data string of the marker to delete.
AI agents call delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data 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.
This tool performs an irreversible deletion operation on project metadata (markers). While not as critical as deleting media files themselves, markers represent editing decisions and annotations that cannot be recovered once deleted. An AI agent with unrestricted access could maliciously or erroneously delete important production markers, disrupting the editing workflow.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'delete' and description explicitly states 'Delete a marker by its custom data string.' The action irreversibly removes a marker from a clip in the video editing project.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data 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 delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data"
]
}delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Delete a marker by its custom data string. Args: clip_id: Unique ID of the clip. custom_data: Custom data string of the marker to delete. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data: 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.
delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data 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 delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data. 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.
delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data 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.
