## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why render_with_quick_export is rated High

Based on the tool name, this tool likely triggers a rendering and export process in DaVinci Resolve, which is an external operation with real side effects (producing output files, consuming significant system resources). This falls under Execute category. The severity is high because misuse could trigger unintended exports or consume large computational resources.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'render_with_quick_export' suggests triggering a render/export operation in DaVinci Resolve; description is empty and uninformative."

## Use case

AI agents invoke render_with_quick_export to trigger actions in DaVinci Resolve MCP. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## 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
