WHAT IT DOES

What quit_app does on DaVinci Resolve MCP

AI agents use quit_app 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.

RISK

Why quit_app is rated Medium

An AI agent can call quit_app faster than any human can review: one bad instruction and it creates or modifies resources in DaVinci Resolve MCP by the hundred, each call as confident as the last.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs quit_app 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 quit_app, this is the rule to start with:

quit_app Rate-limited

quit_app 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.
