# refresh_media_pool_folders Refresh all folders in the Media Pool. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `refresh_media_pool_folders`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/refresh-media-pool-folders ## Facts - Tool: `refresh_media_pool_folders` - Server: DaVinci Resolve MCP (`samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp.md - Homepage: https://github.com/samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp - Risk category: Write (Medium risk) - Registry record: grade F, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Rate-limited ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "refresh_media_pool_folders", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why refresh_media_pool_folders is rated Medium Refreshing media pool folders updates the internal state of the application by reloading folder contents and metadata. While non-destructive and reversible, this is a write-class operation that modifies application state rather than merely retrieving data. The blast radius is minimal—worst case the user sees outdated or stale folder views that can be refreshed again. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'refresh_media_pool_folders' indicates modification of folder state/cache in the Media Pool. The verb 'refresh' implies updating or resyncing folder metadata or display state." ## Use case AI agents use refresh_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. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches DaVinci Resolve MCP: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "refresh_media_pool_folders": { "limits": [ { "counter": "refresh_media_pool_folders_rate", "window": "minute", "max": 30, "scope": "grant" } ] } } } ``` ## Other tools on DaVinci Resolve MCP (354) - `archive_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/archive-project.md - `clear_clip_flags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-clip-flags.md - `clear_clip_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-clip-transcription.md - `clear_folder_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-folder-transcription.md - `clear_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/clear-transcription.md - `close_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/close-project.md - `delete_burn_in_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-burn-in-preset.md - `delete_clip_marker_at_frame` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-marker-at-frame.md - `delete_clip_marker_by_custom_data` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-marker-by-custom-data.md - `delete_clip_markers_by_color` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-markers-by-color.md - `delete_clip_mattes` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-clip-mattes.md - `delete_color_group` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-color-group.md - `delete_keyframe` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-keyframe.md - `delete_layout_preset_tool` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-layout-preset-tool.md - `delete_media_pool_clips` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-media-pool-clips.md - `delete_media_pool_folders` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-media-pool-folders.md - `delete_project` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-project.md - `delete_project_folder` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-project-folder.md - `delete_render_job` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-render-job.md - `delete_render_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-render-preset.md - `delete_stills_from_album` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-stills-from-album.md - `delete_timelines_by_id` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-timelines-by-id.md - `delete_user_preferences_preset` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/delete-user-preferences-preset.md - `folder_clear_transcription` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/folder-clear-transcription.md - `folder_remove_motion_blur` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/folder-remove-motion-blur.md - `graph_reset_all_grades` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/graph-reset-all-grades.md - `quit_resolve` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/quit-resolve.md - `ti_clear_flags` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-clear-flags.md - `ti_delete_fusion_comp` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-delete-fusion-comp.md - `ti_delete_marker_at_frame` — Destructive — https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp/ti-delete-marker-at-frame.md - …and 324 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/samuelgursky-davinci-resolve-mcp.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
