Get the unique ID of the current project.
AI agents call get_project_unique_id 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 retrieves a single identifier value from the current project state. It performs no modification, execution, deletion, or financial transaction. It is a straightforward read operation that returns project metadata. The severity is low as exposing a project ID carries minimal risk—it is typically needed for legitimate project management operations and does not grant access to sensitive data itself.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_project_unique_id' and description 'Get the unique ID of the current project' indicate a retrieval operation that queries project metadata without modification or side effects.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_project_unique_id 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_project_unique_id:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_project_unique_id": {}
}
}get_project_unique_id is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get the unique ID of the current project. 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_project_unique_id: 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_project_unique_id 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_project_unique_id 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_project_unique_id. 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_project_unique_id 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.
