WHAT IT DOES

What folder_clear_transcription does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents call folder_clear_transcription 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.

RISK

Why folder_clear_transcription is rated Critical

Clearing transcription data is a destructive operation — it removes previously generated or imported transcription metadata from all clips in a folder, which cannot be undone without re-running transcription. The broad scope ('all clips in a folder') increases the blast radius significantly.

From the tool's definition 'Clear transcription' implies irreversible removal of transcription data for all clips in a Media Pool folder

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

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

folder_clear_transcription Hidden

folder_clear_transcription is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
