How to control folder_remove_motion_blur ↓

AI agents use folder_remove_motion_blur 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

The tool renders new media files (motion-deblurred copies) to disk. Source media is explicitly stated to be unmodified, so this is not Destructive. It creates new files on the filesystem, making it a Write operation. Severity is medium as it can create many files across an entire folder of clips, potentially consuming significant disk space.

From the tool's definition Creates NEW media files; source media is not modified.

Risk signalsAdmin/system-level operation

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access folder_remove_motion_blur 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_remove_motion_blur:

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

folder_remove_motion_blur 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.
