Navigate and manage project folders in the Project Manager. Actions: list() -> {folders} get_current() -> {folder} create(name) -> {success} delete(name) -> {success} open(name) -> {success} goto_root() -> {success} goto_parent() -> {success}
AI agents call project_manager_folders to permanently remove resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Although the tool primarily performs read operations (list, get_current) and write operations (create, open, goto_root, goto_parent), the presence of the delete(name) function that permanently removes project folders elevates this to Destructive category. An AI agent misusing this tool could irreversibly delete user projects, which represents high blast radius.
From the tool's definition The tool includes a delete(name) action that 'irreversibly deletes or overwrites data' per the classification rules.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access project_manager_folders 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 project_manager_folders:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"hide": [
"project_manager_folders"
]
}project_manager_folders disappears from the agent's tool list entirely, and any attempt to call it is denied. The rest of the server keeps working.

Navigate and manage project folders in the Project Manager. Actions: list() -> {folders} get_current() -> {folder} create(name) -> {success} delete(name) -> {success} open(name) -> {success} goto_root() -> {success} goto_parent() -> {success}. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the DaVinci Resolve MCP MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the DaVinci Resolve MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for project_manager_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.
project_manager_folders is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the project_manager_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 project_manager_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.
project_manager_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.
