folder_clear_audio_classification

Clear audio classification for all clips in a Media Pool folder (Resolve 21+). Args: folder_path: Path from root. Empty for current folder.

How to control folder_clear_audio_classification ↓

AI agents use folder_clear_audio_classification 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.

Medium Risk

This tool modifies metadata (audio classification) for all clips in a folder by clearing it. It's a reversible write operation — audio classification can be re-applied — but it affects potentially many clips at once, giving it a medium blast radius. It does not delete media files or irreversibly destroy data, so Destructive is not warranted.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access folder_clear_audio_classification 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 folder_clear_audio_classification:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "folder_clear_audio_classification": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "folder_clear_audio_classification_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

folder_clear_audio_classification 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.

  1. Create a free account and register DaVinci Resolve MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
