Classify audio of all clips in a Media Pool folder into categories (Resolve 21+). Args: folder_path: Path from root. Empty for current folder.
AI agents invoke folder_perform_audio_classification to trigger actions in DaVinci Resolve MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
This tool runs an automated audio classification process on media assets within DaVinci Resolve. It is not a simple read (it triggers an operation that modifies metadata/categories), nor purely destructive, but it executes an analysis workflow that transforms clip metadata. The blast radius is medium since it affects all clips in a folder and may alter their categorization data, but does not delete or move assets.
From the tool's definition 'Classify audio of all clips in a Media Pool folder into categories' — triggers an automated analysis/processing operation across all clips in a folder

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access folder_perform_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_perform_audio_classification:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"folder_perform_audio_classification": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "folder_perform_audio_classification_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 10,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}folder_perform_audio_classification stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Classify audio of all clips in a Media Pool folder into categories (Resolve 21+). Args: folder_path: Path from root. Empty for current folder. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for folder_perform_audio_classification: 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.
folder_perform_audio_classification is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the folder_perform_audio_classification 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 folder_perform_audio_classification. 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.
folder_perform_audio_classification 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.
