List all timelines in the current project as a tool.
AI agents call list_timelines_tool 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 queries existing data (timelines) without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a simple retrieval operation with no blast radius—an AI agent listing timelines cannot cause harm or unintended side effects.
From the tool's definition The tool 'list_timelines_tool' retrieves or queries timelines from the current project with description stating 'List all timelines in the current project as a tool.' The verb 'list' and the read-only nature of retrieving existing timeline information with no…

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

List all timelines in the current project as a tool. It is categorised as a Read tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_timelines_tool: 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.
list_timelines_tool is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_timelines_tool 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 list_timelines_tool. 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.
list_timelines_tool 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.
