Link proxy media to a clip. Args: clip_id: Unique ID of the clip. proxy_path: Absolute path to the proxy media file.
AI agents use link_clip_proxy_media 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.
This tool creates or updates an association between a clip and proxy media, modifying clip properties without deleting or irreversibly destroying data. It is reversible (the proxy link can be removed or changed), making it a Write operation rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'link_clip_proxy_media' and description 'Link proxy media to a clip' indicate creation or modification of clip metadata/associations.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access link_clip_proxy_media gives an agent:
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 link_clip_proxy_media:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"link_clip_proxy_media": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "link_clip_proxy_media_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}link_clip_proxy_media 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.

Link proxy media to a clip. Args: clip_id: Unique ID of the clip. proxy_path: Absolute path to the proxy media file. It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for link_clip_proxy_media: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP. Nothing to install.
link_clip_proxy_media is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the link_clip_proxy_media rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for link_clip_proxy_media. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
link_clip_proxy_media is provided by the DaVinci Resolve MCP server (samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
