Check if rendering is currently in progress.
AI agents call is_rendering_in_progress 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.
This tool only reads/queries the current rendering status of DaVinci Resolve. It has no side effects, does not modify any data or media, does not execute operations, and does not trigger external actions. It is purely informational, fitting the Read category definition of retrieving or querying data with no side effects.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'is_rendering_in_progress' and description 'Check if rendering is currently in progress' indicate a query operation that retrieves status information without modifying or executing any operations.

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 is_rendering_in_progress:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"is_rendering_in_progress": {}
}
}is_rendering_in_progress is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
