What load_cloud_project does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents call load_cloud_project to retrieve information from DaVinci Resolve MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why load_cloud_project is rated Low
The tool retrieves an existing cloud project for use in DaVinci Resolve. This is a read operation with no side effects—it does not modify, create, delete, or execute arbitrary commands. The user must already have access to the cloud project, and loading it does not change its state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'load_cloud_project' and description 'Load a cloud project from DaVinci Resolve cloud' indicate retrieval of existing project data without modification. 'Load' implies reading/opening, not creating or destroying.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs load_cloud_project 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 load_cloud_project, this is the rule to start with:
load_cloud_project is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every load_cloud_project call is checked against it from then on.
