WHAT IT DOES

What goto_root_project_folder does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents invoke goto_root_project_folder to trigger actions in DaVinci Resolve MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why goto_root_project_folder is rated High

This tool triggers a navigation action within DaVinci Resolve (changing the active folder context), which is an external operation with side effects on the application state. It doesn't read, write, or delete data, but executes a UI/application-level action. Severity is low as the blast radius of navigating to root folder is minimal.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs goto_root_project_folder safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and DaVinci Resolve MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For goto_root_project_folder, this is the rule to start with:

goto_root_project_folder Rate-limited

goto_root_project_folder stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",

        {
          "counter": "goto_root_project_folder_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

RATE-LIMIT THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every goto_root_project_folder call is checked against it from then on.
