# get_timeline_by_index Get a timeline by its 1-based index. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_timeline_by_index`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/get-timeline-by-index ## Facts - Tool: `get_timeline_by_index` - Server: DaVinci Resolve MCP (`samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_timeline_by_index", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_timeline_by_index is rated Low This tool retrieves timeline information by index lookup. The verb 'get' and the read-only nature of the operation (no creation, modification, deletion, or code execution) clearly classify it as Read. The severity is low because retrieving timeline metadata poses minimal risk even if called inappropriately by an agent. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_timeline_by_index' and description 'Get a timeline by its 1-based index' indicate a retrieval operation that queries timeline data without modification or side effects." ## Use case AI agents call get_timeline_by_index to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_timeline_by_index": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on DaVinci Resolve MCP (354) - `archive_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/archive-project.md - `clear_clip_flags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-clip-flags.md - `clear_clip_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-clip-transcription.md - `clear_folder_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-folder-transcription.md - `clear_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-transcription.md - `close_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/close-project.md - `delete_burn_in_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-burn-in-preset.md - `delete_clip_marker_at_frame` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-marker-at-frame.md - `delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-marker-by-custom-data.md - `delete_clip_markers_by_color` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-markers-by-color.md - `delete_clip_mattes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-mattes.md - `delete_color_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-color-group.md - `delete_keyframe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-keyframe.md - `delete_layout_preset_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-layout-preset-tool.md - `delete_media_pool_clips` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-media-pool-clips.md - `delete_media_pool_folders` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-media-pool-folders.md - `delete_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-project.md - `delete_project_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-project-folder.md - `delete_render_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-render-job.md - `delete_render_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-render-preset.md - `delete_stills_from_album` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-stills-from-album.md - `delete_timelines_by_id` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-timelines-by-id.md - `delete_user_preferences_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-user-preferences-preset.md - `folder_clear_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/folder-clear-transcription.md - `folder_remove_motion_blur` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/folder-remove-motion-blur.md - `graph_reset_all_grades` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/graph-reset-all-grades.md - `quit_resolve` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/quit-resolve.md - `ti_clear_flags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-clear-flags.md - `ti_delete_fusion_comp` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-delete-fusion-comp.md - `ti_delete_marker_at_frame` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-delete-marker-at-frame.md - …and 324 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
