load_render_preset

Load a render preset by name. Args: preset_name: Name of the render preset to load.

How to control load_render_preset ↓

AI agents call load_render_preset 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.

Low Risk

Even though load_render_preset only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs — an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access load_render_preset 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 load_render_preset:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "load_render_preset": {}
  }
}

load_render_preset is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register DaVinci Resolve MCP — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

How do I enforce a policy on load_render_preset? +

Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for load_render_preset: 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.

What risk level is load_render_preset? +

load_render_preset is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit load_render_preset? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the load_render_preset 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.

How do I block load_render_preset completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for load_render_preset. 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.

What MCP server provides load_render_preset? +
