WHAT GRAPH_RESET_ALL_GRADES ON DAVINCI RESOLVE MCP DOES

AI agents call graph_reset_all_grades to permanently remove resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

THE RISK

Critical Risk

Resetting all grades is an irreversible destructive action — all color grading work on the specified timeline item is wiped. While DaVinci Resolve has undo history in interactive sessions, an MCP-driven reset bypasses user intent and could permanently destroy significant color grading work if the session is closed or undo history is cleared.

HOW TO CONTROL GRAPH_RESET_ALL_GRADES

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 graph_reset_all_grades:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "hide": [
    "graph_reset_all_grades"
  ]
}

graph_reset_all_grades disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Create a free account and register DaVinci Resolve MCP — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
