WHAT IT DOES

What export_folder does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use export_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 export_folder is rated Medium

This tool creates new files (exported folders in DRB or other formats) based on existing project data. While the operation is reversible (the exported file can be deleted), it modifies the filesystem by introducing new artifacts. This is Write rather than Destructive because the original data remains intact and the action is not irreversible.

From the tool's definition Tool named 'export_folder' with description 'Export a folder to a DRB file or other format.' - the action creates/writes a new exported file artifact from existing project data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

export_folder Rate-limited

export_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.
