Get the current keyframe mode in Resolve. Returns 0=ALL, 1=COLOR, 2=SIZING.
AI agents call get_keyframe_mode to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only queries and returns the current keyframe mode setting without modifying any data, project state, or triggering external operations. It has no side effects and represents a simple state inspection operation. Classification as Read is appropriate with low severity due to minimal blast radius if misused.
From the tool's definition Tool name is "get_keyframe_mode" and description states it "returns" keyframe mode values (0=ALL, 1=COLOR, 2=SIZING). The verb "Get" and "Returns" indicate read-only retrieval of existing state with no modification.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_keyframe_mode 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 get_keyframe_mode:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_keyframe_mode": {}
}
}get_keyframe_mode is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the current keyframe mode in Resolve. Returns 0=ALL, 1=COLOR, 2=SIZING. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_keyframe_mode: 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.
get_keyframe_mode is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_keyframe_mode 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 get_keyframe_mode. 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.
get_keyframe_mode 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.
