Rename a color group. Mirrors ColorGroup.SetName(groupName). Args: group_name: Current name of the color group. new_name: New name to assign.
AI agents use rename_color_group 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.
Renaming a color group is a reversible metadata modification operation. It changes project organization but does not delete data, execute arbitrary code, access sensitive data, or trigger external operations. This fits the Write category definition: creates or modifies data reversibly.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Rename a color group' and 'Mirrors ColorGroup.SetName(groupName)' - a metadata modification operation that creates or updates organizational information within the DaVinci Resolve project without irreversible data loss or external…
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rename_color_group 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 rename_color_group:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"rename_color_group": {
"limits": [
{
"counter": "rename_color_group_rate",
"window": "minute",
"max": 30,
"scope": "grant"
}
]
}
}
}rename_color_group 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.

Rename a color group. Mirrors ColorGroup.SetName(groupName). Args: group_name: Current name of the color group. new_name: New name to assign. 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 rename_color_group: 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.
rename_color_group 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 rename_color_group 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 rename_color_group. 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.
rename_color_group 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.
