Move folders to a different Media Pool location. Args: folder_names: List of folder names to move. target_folder_path: Path to target folder.
AI agents use move_media_pool_folders 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.
This operation modifies the organizational structure of media assets within DaVinci Resolve's Media Pool by relocating folders. It is a write operation because it changes the state of the project (folder hierarchy/locations) reversibly. It does not delete data (not Destructive), does not execute arbitrary code (not Execute), and has no financial implications.
From the tool's definition Tool moves folders to different Media Pool locations. The description explicitly indicates modification of folder organization: 'Move folders to a different Media Pool location.' This is a structural modification of project assets but remains…

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 move_media_pool_folders:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"move_media_pool_folders": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "move_media_pool_folders_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}move_media_pool_folders 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.

Move folders to a different Media Pool location. Args: folder_names: List of folder names to move. target_folder_path: Path to target folder. It is categorised as a Write tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for move_media_pool_folders: 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.
move_media_pool_folders is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the move_media_pool_folders 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 move_media_pool_folders. 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.
move_media_pool_folders 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.
