Export metadata of clips in the current Media Pool folder to a CSV file. Args: file_path: Absolute path for the exported CSV file.
AI agents use export_media_pool_metadata 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 or modifies data (a CSV file) without permanently destroying information or executing arbitrary code. The exported metadata can be regenerated or the file deleted. It does not execute scripts, trigger external processes with unpredictable side effects, or irreversibly delete data. The blast radius is minimal—an agent could export metadata to an unexpected location, but this is easily recoverable.
From the tool's definition Tool exports metadata to a CSV file via 'file_path' argument. The action creates a new file on disk with clip metadata, which is a reversible write operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access export_media_pool_metadata 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 export_media_pool_metadata:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"export_media_pool_metadata": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "export_media_pool_metadata_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}export_media_pool_metadata 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.

Export metadata of clips in the current Media Pool folder to a CSV file. Args: file_path: Absolute path for the exported CSV file. 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 export_media_pool_metadata: 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.
export_media_pool_metadata 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 export_media_pool_metadata 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 export_media_pool_metadata. 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.
export_media_pool_metadata 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.
