What quit_resolve does on DaVinci Resolve MCP
AI agents call quit_resolve 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.
Why quit_resolve is rated Critical
Quitting the application is an irreversible action at execution time: any unsaved edits, render queues, or in-progress work are lost. The explicit WARNING in the description confirms the destructive, unrecoverable nature.
From the tool's definition 'Quit DaVinci Resolve. WARNING: This will close the application.' — forcibly terminates the application, which is irreversible in the moment and may cause loss of unsaved work across all open projects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs quit_resolve 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_resolve, this is the rule to start with:
quit_resolve is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect DaVinci Resolve MCP, apply this rule, and every quit_resolve call is checked against it from then on.
