WHAT IT DOES

What load_layout_preset_tool does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents invoke load_layout_preset_tool to trigger actions in DaVinci Resolve MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why load_layout_preset_tool is rated High

Loading a UI layout preset modifies the state of DaVinci Resolve's interface by applying a preset configuration. This is an external operation with side effects on the application environment, not a simple read. While it doesn't destroy data or move money, it executes an action that changes the running application's state, making Execute the most appropriate category.

From the tool's definition "Load a UI layout preset" — triggers an external operation that changes the application's UI state
