WHAT IT DOES

What enable_keyframes does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use enable_keyframes 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 enable_keyframes is rated Medium

This tool modifies the state of a timeline item by enabling keyframe mode, which is a reversible write operation within DaVinci Resolve's editing workflow. It does not delete data or execute arbitrary code, making Write the most appropriate category.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

enable_keyframes Rate-limited

enable_keyframes 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.
