WHAT IT DOES

What link_proxy_media does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use link_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.

RISK

Why link_proxy_media is rated Medium

This tool creates or modifies a relationship between proxy media and clips—a reversible write operation. It does not execute arbitrary code, delete data, or move financial resources. The severity is medium because incorrect proxy linking could corrupt editing workflows or cause performance issues, but the change is reversible by unlinking or relinking different proxy media.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'link_proxy_media' and description 'Link a proxy media file to a clip' indicate modification of clip metadata/associations.

Attacks that exploit this kind of access

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs link_proxy_media 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 link_proxy_media, this is the rule to start with:

link_proxy_media Rate-limited

link_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.
