What graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents use graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut to create or update resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your DaVinci Resolve MCP environment.
Why graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut is rated Medium
This tool modifies video editing properties (color grading via CDL and LUT application) in a reversible manner. It creates or updates color correction metadata on timeline items without deleting data or executing arbitrary code. The blast radius is medium because an agent could degrade video quality by applying incorrect color profiles, but changes can be undone.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut' and description 'Apply ARRI CDL and LUT to a timeline item's graph' indicate modification of color grading/LUT data on video content through reversible application of color decision lists and lookup tables.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut 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 graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut, this is the rule to start with:
graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every graph_apply_arri_cdl_lut call is checked against it from then on.
