How to control get_still_label ↓

AI agents call get_still_label 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.

Low Risk

This tool retrieves metadata (a label) from an existing still in a gallery album. It queries information without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. The parameters (album_index, still_index) are simple identifiers for lookup. No data is changed, no external code is executed, and no resources are consumed beyond a read operation. This is a straightforward Read operation with minimal risk.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'get_still_label' and description 'Get the label of a still in a gallery album' indicate pure data retrieval with no modification or side effects.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access get_still_label 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_still_label:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "get_still_label": {}
  }
}

get_still_label is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
